Have you ever felt like someone's psychological slave, as if every thought you have, you must worry what someone in your life is going to think or feel? If you have ever loved a narcissist, you may have slowly lost yourself overtime and not even realized it until you felt like you were going crazy or like you were losing your mind. A narcissist lives in a very unique fantasy world, in their mind, and you are merely an actor in their play. You do not exist as an autonomous 3D human being, with your own unique beliefs, needs, expectations, emotions or opinions, at least not in their heads you don't. No, you play a role in their life and whether you realize it or not, in their eyes, you are their psychological slave and you are to bend when they blow.

Lisa A. Romano, a breakthrough life coach, and expert in codependency and narcissistic abuse recovery, clearly explains in this episode how a narcissist uses their perception as a weapon of manipulation against you. Additionally, a special warning goes out to those who struggle with self-doubt, low self-worth, and the need to be understood, needed, and who identify as codependent. You have been conditioned since childhood to seek validation outside yourself to feel worthy. Dear One, you are a prime target for narcissistic abuse. 

Listen good! In this episode Lisa is going to help you develop that stainless steel spine all codependents and those who have been psychologically manipulated by narcissists need to strive for on their transformation journey from inner wounds to inner strength.

3 Day Inner Child Retreat

Are you in a relationship with a narcissist and do you feel like you need to walk on eggshells to keep them calm? Do you feel easily controlled due to your caretaking nature? Can you identify codependent traits in you, such as low self worth, negative self talk, feeling shame-based, and needing the approval of others to feel like you are okay, and not going crazy? 

If you are codependent, most often you do not know it. Seeking approval, and worrying more about what others think about you than what you think about you has become a way of life. In childhood, your behavior was tied to your self worth and not your innate worthiness, so today, you subconsciously seek out similar dynamics in which you repeat your childhood patterns of needing others to give you permission to feel worthy. 

The codependent narcissist relationships is similar to two magnets being drawn to one another. One needs and attention and the other feels compelled to abandon their own needs just to pour out their attention onto others in exchange for a sense of self. The codependent is completely governed by faulty childhood programming and can die in this self abandoning paradigm and never awaken. This happens all the time and is why many people on their death beds most regret NOT acting on behalf of the self during their lifetimes rather than worrying about what other people thought about them. 

In this episode, Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach and #1 bestselling author of The Road Back to Me (2012) and creator of the Codependency Recovery Accelerator, The 12 Week Breakthrough Roadmap, helps you to understand codependency as a mindset or paradigm that traps you within its walls all outside of your limited conscious awareness. Her passion for helping adult children from toxic homes, such as those born to alcoholics, narcissists, or the emotionally immature, is rooted in her desire to help others transform their inner wounds into inner strengths. Romano was awarded the title of the #1 Most Influential Person of 2020 due to her deep, uncanny, understanding of codependency and the negative adverse childhood experiences responsible for this life lived from the perception of a lost self. 

She is ready to help you find your true self, and equip you with the mindset training required to breakthrough the veil of illusions that have kept you trapped in codependent narcissistic paradigms.

Are you codependent? If so, you may be suffering from codependency trauma. Once you see codependency traits, signs and symptoms showing up in your relationships, particularly codependent narcissist relationships, you can't unsee it. Codependency recovery relies on the ability to look within to make peace with our shame, low self-worth, and abandonment issues.    If you are in a codependent relationship, you may have noticed that you seek approval, feel like a doormat, enable, fix, and fawn. The four f's of childhood trauma are fight, flight, freeze and fawn. Codependency is considered the fourth F, the fawning aspect of childhood trauma. To overcome codependency in relationships, first, you must identify your codependent traits. Then you must learn to embrace inner child recovery healing work. From there, if you have been exploited or manipulated or have suffered gaslighting abuse from a narcissist, you will also need to heal cognitive dissonance.  Another key healing aspect of codependency recovery is learning to develop a mindful practice and to take seriously the need to reprogram the subconscious mind.    The five pillars of codependency recovery include, inner child healing, codependency healing and recovery work, narcissistic abuse recovery, mindfulness training and retraining the brain at the neurological and subconscious levels.    Do you think you might be in a codependent relationship?

Are you codependent? Do you lack self worth, and focus more on others happiness, needs, and expectations than you do on your own happiness, desires or wants? When you are codependent, it implies that you have been raised to be detached from the self. In this case, you are hypervigilant but might not even know it. You may spend your entire life trying to please people, only to discover that in time, you feel drained, not good enough and disillusioned. 

It's not your fault if you are codependent, lack boundaries and don't feel good enough. As a child, you may have had to abandon your true self just to survive. Remember, that the most important thing for a child is to attach to their mother and when this connection goes awry, a child's sense of safety suffers and that is not their fault. 

In this episode, learn about some of the codependent fantasies we create in our minds that help us survive our toxic lonely childhoods. And remember Dear One, that you are enough and that finding ways to survive was necessary. As an adult, however, we must grow up and let go of the codependent fantasies if we wish to experience the joy of the authentic self.
