Children absorb the vibrations of their parents and internalize the meaning. Many grow up feeling not good enough and this frequency is what traps us in codependency in relationships with narcissists and emotionally avoidant others, until we heal the inner child. #12weekbreakthroughcoachingprogram #codependency #codependencyrecovery #codependent #innerchildhealing

Research suggests, the world is becoming more narcissistic. Our ancestors; hunters and gatherers needed one another to survive. A sense of community and oneness held budding civilizations together where each individual played an integral part to ensure the survival of all. A narcissist in the group would have been quickly understood as a threat to all. Sadly, as time marched on, and civilizations grew, the world came to know the tragedy of narcissistic leaders who rejected other groups of humans as disposable. Narcissists rebuke community, and are lost within the grandiose narrative they hold of themselves in their minds. Community is only welcomed if it boosts the narcissist’s ego. Individuals are means to an end. As technology continues to replace in person face to face meetings, handshakes, hugs, and kisses, as well as makes it easier to reach someone across the globe, in addition to the rise in narcissistic traits amongst humans, it makes sense to a) manage our own narcissistic traits and b) be aware of the destructive force in others who are so below the veil and addicted to the self they will never awaken to how their self absorption impacts others. May your heart be filled with love for your divine self, as well as love for others, the planet, and humanity itself. May you be willing to pluck out within yourself traits, thoughts and behaviors that cause you to live in fear. Dear One, you are enough. You are an extension of all that is. You are as important as any star in the sky. Avoid sour cucumbers, turn from what depletes you, and place your focus upon the love you are and in time, the community you seek you shall find. Honor red flags, know they never turn green, trust your gut, and love yourself enough to know healthy humans don’t hurt other humans. Stay in the frequency of love for the divine self, and your body will tell you when you are dealing with a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Then, listen to your body. It has a direct link to the divine 🙏 With compassion, curiosity and consciousness, there is nothing we cannot heal or achieve. lisaaromano.com/boundary-bui… All my love, Lisa A.

🌟 Meet Linda – A Breakthrough Story 🌟 When Linda joined the 12 Week Breakthrough Method, she was like so many of us—stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion. She had spent years trying to “fix” herself, pouring into others, and wondering why she still felt empty. But something shifted when she said *yes* to her healing. Over the course of 12 weeks, Linda began to understand her subconscious programming, connect the dots between her childhood wounds and adult patterns, and most importantly—reclaim her voice. She showed up for herself, did the inner work, and peeled back the layers of toxic shame that had once defined her. Today, Linda stands in her power—clearer, calmer, and more connected to her true self than ever before. 💫 She is proof that when you commit to this sacred inner work, healing isn’t just possible—it’s predictable. 👉 If you’re ready to start your own breakthrough journey, the next LIVE round of the 12 Week Breakthrough Method begins July 13th.

Childhood trauma causes resistance toward love, and that’s why we attract more pain, than love. Our brain feels safer in pain and until we crack that code, we stay stuck. #12weekbreakthroughcoachingprogram #conscioushealingacademy #lisaaromano #breakthrough

Narcissists are very clever. They read you like they read the newspaper. They know when you are going to back down, give in, and aim to keep the peace. They know when you need them to be kinder, gentler, and more vulnerable with them, and they use this emotional data as a manipulative tool against you. To remain in my toxic marriage, I told myself lies all day, every day; I just didn't know I was doing it. Childhood programming rooted in feelings of unworthiness conditioned me to fear disapproval and beg for approval simultaneously. It was as if I was brainwashed to learn how to tango with a rattlesnake and to feel responsible if I ever got bit. Codependency twists your reality from below the veil of consciousness, and without understanding what a toxic relationship is, and why codependents so often end up in relationships with narcissists, it can be nearly impossible to extricate yourself from the relationship. Once I learned I was codependent, and I could see how I was playing right into the narrative of someone who devalued me to feel better about himself, that's when the light went off, and that's also when I realized family, friends, and neighbors were never going to support me because, to them, he was a Boyscout. I walked away anyway and today I am living my best life, healing more each day and proof that real mature love is possible! We got this! Lisa A.

🌻 Did you know that 73% of individuals struggling with codependency have experienced childhood trauma?. #HealingJourney #SelfAwareness #BreakTheCycle #12WeekBreakthroughCoachingProgram 💫💛 lisaaromano.com/12-wbcp

When you are raised in a denial and shame-based family that looks perfect from the outside, it messes with your perception of reality, all while conditioning you at the level of the subconscious to adjust your thinking to the frequencies of what is happening around you. You can't help it. It's never a child's fault when they absorb the unspoken and spoken intentions and belief systems of their unhealthy parents. Yet, as adults, without self-awareness, made possible by metacognition, we all live lives that mirror the effects of our childhoods in one way or another. Committing my life to NOT live or die like my parents, self-awareness, and self-accountability were my aim, and I didn't care what dragons I would have to slay. I knew humility would serve me despite how painful seeing the not-so-pretty in me would be. One day, while journaling, it hit me. Just like my parents had taught me, I loved myself and others conditionally, although moments before, I would have been unable to see myself so clearly. If I could please you enough, and you relayed the sense that you appreciated or approved of me, and I got the sense that you felt I was worthy of keeping around, my sense of purpose would rise. But, if I cared for you and sensed that you did not care for me, the fear of abandonment would cause me to shut down in expectation and defense of you being upset with me. This would cause my sense of self to drop and my ability to love you healthily to cease. First, I would panic, CPTSD triggers would fire, and then I would trip over myself trying to fix your feelings, so that I could relax and feel in control, which meant I was dissociating from my self value and placing the responsibility of my emotional regulation into your lap. This is not authentic love, and although these behaviors and subconscious beliefs were tied to faulty subconscious negative childhood experiences, I was repeating what I was taught to do; once I saw these traits in myself, my new purpose was to not allow the past to control me any longer. Dear One, trauma arrests you at the level of consciousness you were at when you were experiencing the emotional burn of rejection, neglect, abandonment, and abuse. Just know that you were born to rise up and out of the subconscious mind, so you could become the Creator of your desired life experience despite a painful past. https:///www.lisaaromano.com/12wbcp #adultchildrenofalcoholics #emotionallyimmatureparents #innerchildhealingjourney #healingjourney #emotions #codependency #codependence #awakening #consciousliving #consciousparenting #accountability #selfawarenes #breakthecycle #cyclebreaker #consciousmom #selfhealer #lisaaromano #12weekbreakthroughcoachingprogram

Trauma and neglect arrest our consciousness, enlarge the amygdala, diminish the hippocampus, and literally knock emotional regulation offline. Trauma keeps our brain, mind, and body in survival mode. For this reason, we won't trust our thoughts, perceptions, or feelings, nor will we be able to trust others. We never felt safe as children, and although this is valid, there have been neurological, physiological, emotional, and mental consequences we must not deny, minimize, or ignore if we ache to feel connected with our authentic selves and others. I am committed to assisting those who wish to commit themselves to transforming trauma into triumph with proven emotional and cognitive life skills. Therefore, I would like to offer you an opportunity to view this free webinar on breaking free of the chains of the past, which will undoubtedly answer many of your questions about why you feel, think, believe, and act as you do. I invite you to participate in my next 12-week Breakthrough Coaching Program. This will be the one and only live class of 2024, and it is about to begin on April 7th. Join from anywhere in the world. Follow along inside your private dashboard and join me on our private support group Facebook page each Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. EDT for a 90-minute live stream, during which I address students' questions live.

And I will always tell you that the effort and work to gain control over our minds, emotions, beliefs, and reactions is worth it. All my love, Lisa A.

It seems that from the moment I was born, I was expected to ignore, deny, suppress, repress, and oppress my emotions. Raised by unrecovered adult children of alcoholics, my young parents carried wounds from their childhood that they denied, yet controlled every thought, action, word, perception, and intention they had. Like many adult children, I was a child that was seen and not heard. My little heart ached to connect with parents who were lost in their own codependent-narcissistic relationship, and as a result, the bond I needed to feel safe to connect to my authentic self went awry. Eventually, I learned to lie to myself and others to keep the peace and avoid rejection. Hence, codependency became my way of life. When you awaken from the codependent fog, faulty patterns and family dynamics unfold before your newly awakened eyes. Even though you don't like what you see, you know that unless you break through these patterns, you will remain enmeshed in a toxic family system. The people you love remain asleep in their unhealed childhood trauma, and all you can do is keep it moving so that you do not die without learning how to live an authentic life. The good news is that it is possible to detach, let go, and learn to accept the discomfort that arrives as you begin to find your true self despite a painful past. This is a difficult part of the journey of self-actualization because it requires that you choose the self over those you love who refuse to awaken and heal their lives. Dear One, if you are awakening and learning to honor the self and come from a toxic family system, you need to prepare yourself for the challenges that will arise as you begin the detachment process on the road back to the authentic you! I learned how to find my voice; the one family dysfunction taught me to ignore and deny, and I want to teach you to do the same! This April 7th, I will guide, coach, and mentor those ready to embark on the sacred codependency recovery journey and teach you how to honor the self despite the anxiety and pushback from those who resent you for elevating your life. Until you change how you think, you think the way others programmed you to think. Let's fill your toolbox with profound and useful mental, emotional, and spiritual tools so that you can detach and become the true authority of your life. lisaaromano.com/12wbcp #codependencyrecovery #12weekbreakthroughcoachingprogram #innerchildhealing #innerchildwork #masteryouremotions #masteryourmindset #overcomechallenges #overcomer #healingjourney #authenticlife
