In this episode, you will learn about the signs a narcissist is trying to get back into your life. Recognizing the signs of a narcissist attempting to re-enter your life is paramount on your journey of healing and self-discovery. Hoovering, dear one, is the insidious tactic these individuals employ to suck you back into their web of manipulation and control. It often starts subtly, perhaps with a seemingly innocent message or a casual encounter. However, pay heed to the underlying motives masked beneath their charm. Are they showering you with affection one moment and withdrawing it the next? Do you sense a familiar pattern of gaslighting and emotional manipulation resurfacing? These are the red flags waving vehemently, urging you to stay vigilant and protect your newfound sense of self. Coming out of denial requires courageous introspection and unwavering honesty with oneself. It demands a willingness to confront the uncomfortable truths about the dynamics of past relationships and the roles we played in them. By acknowledging the signs of hoovering, you're taking a crucial step toward breaking free from the cycle of toxicity. It's about reclaiming your power and refusing to be ensnared by the false promises and superficial charm of a narcissist. Remember, darling, healing begins when you confront the reality of the situation head-on, even when it feels daunting or overwhelming. Equipped with the wisdom gained from your experiences, you can forge a path towards healthier, more fulfilling relationships in the future. Recognizing the signs of hoovering empowers you to set boundaries and protect your emotional well-being. Trust your intuition, darling, for your inner compass guides you toward authenticity and genuine connections. By staying attuned to the subtle cues and refusing to be lured back into the toxic embrace of a narcissist, you pave the way for a brighter, more liberated future filled with love, respect, and inner peace.

Subconscious fears destroy relationships. Unhealed, unacknowledged, and unprocessed faulty childhood beliefs are malignant in that even though you may not be actively healing them, they eat at your ability to feel secure and safe in relationships regardless. Codependency is the byproduct of feeling unsafe, invisible, unheard and unwanted as a child. It is a maladaptive way of viewing the self, which causes someone to feel subordinate to others and behave in ways that minimize the chance of rejection. Stuffing your emotions, not telling the entire truth, lacking boundaries, fawning and enabling are just a few ways in which codependency manifests in relationships. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, the Breakthrough Life Coach, bestselling author and creator of the groundbreaking, trauma informed, brain based 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program unravels the origins of codependency through the eyes and experiences of one who has made the transformational journey back to the divine self. She is on a mission to help others awaken to the subconscious world each of us lives in so that we all might learn to ascend the limiting beliefs childhood trauma creates and causes us to remain stuck and settling for far less than we deserve.

In this episode, learn how to tell if a narcissist is lying by watching for these telltale signs! Liars are not always easy to spot due to their chameleon-like behavior; however, if you take the time to step back and gain objectivity, you will notice pervasive patterns that indicate the person you are dealing with has a propensity to lie. Narcissistic personality disorder is not always easy to spot. Covert narcissists manipulate by mirroring your empathy, for example, and without objectivity, you might be pulled in by their charismatic charm or their sob story. Narcissists manipulate others in various ways, such as gaslighting, projection, triangulation, smear campaigns, coercive control, domination, and power. They can also use stonewalling and the silent treatment to exert control over their targets. To learn how to tell if a narcissist is lying, you may want to sit back and observe consistent and pervasive patterns of inconsistencies, lack of integrity, shapeshifting, twisting the truth, devaluing those who challenge them, as well as noting when they are most reactive, which is often associated with when someone dares to challenge a narcissist's version of reality. Narcissists are grandiose in their self perception. They only hang out with those they consider 'special' or unique or with those who bolster their delusions of superiority. Dare to challenge a narcissist about their beliefs of superiority, and you must prepare to be annihilated.

Women who love men they can't have are those who attract and are attracted to emotionally unavailable men.

Women who lack a healthy sense of self, and who have been conditioned to feel as if they need to prove themselves worthy of love, generally do not attract high quality men. We are women who settle for breadcrumbs, beg for approval, are often codependent and emotionally dependent.  The good news is, Lisa A.

As the child of a narcissistic mother, your subconscious mind has been impressed with concepts, beliefs, and ideas that although helped you survive as a child, may work against your spiritual, mental, and emotional unfolding today. Being raised by a narcissistic mother poses significant risks to one's perception of self, which can taint every area of one's life. Children of narcissistic mothers struggle to honor, love, and respect themselves. They can become stuck in loops of self-sabotaging thinking, feeling, and behaving, leading them to codependent one-way relationships. Depression, anxiety, low self-worth, and a lack of self are just a few of the consequences of being raised by a narcissistic mother. If you have been raised in a toxic family system, if you are the adult child of narcissistic parents, or if you know of an adult child who has come from a dysfunctional childhood home, this episode will shed light on the struggles these adult children face. The good news is, as you awaken and identify toxic family issues, you can liberate yourself from the subconscious patterns, beliefs, and habitual thinking and behaving they have caused. Lisa A. Romano's life is proof that through an elevation of consciousness, it is possible to reclaim authority in your life, as are the thousands of adult children she has helped awaken and break free of the chains of the past.

This is part two of Rejecting a Narcissist, and in this episode, you will learn about some predictable behaviors a narcissist will reveal, which can help you get out ahead of what to expect. The more you understand about their predictable behavior, the less controlled you will be by their manipulation tactics.  To learn more about Lisa's online coaching programs, designed to elevate your consciousness, heal codependency, and reclaim your autonomy and authority over your life, visit: https://www.lisaaromano.com/store

Grandchildren of alcoholics don't always know their parents are adult children of alcoholics, nor do they appreciate what this means for them. Adult children of alcoholics have been raised feeling ignored, invisible, and in fear due to unpredictable homelife experiences. They generally do not know how to have fun, or how to let go. Feeling such a loss of personal power as children causes them to become rigid in their thinking, which leads to the need for control. Adult children of alcoholics often struggle with needing to be needed, with fixing and rescuing others, which are classic signs of codependency. In this episode, listen in to how Lisa A. Romano helps us understand the importance of recognizing how our parent's childhoods have impacted how they have parented us, and what that means if we discover we too struggle with codependency traits and symptoms.  Ready to heal the abandonment wounds of the past that keep you stuck seeking approval, and living in fear of rejection?

Regulating strong negative emotions is like having a superpower for your well-being. Managing those intense feelings—like anger, sadness, or anxiety—helps us navigate life's challenges more smoothly. It's like being the captain of your own emotional ship, steering through stormy waters with control. If we let those emotions run wild, they can take over and make everything feel more difficult. Learning to regulate them is like having a toolkit for emotional balance, allowing us to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively. It's not about ignoring or suppressing feelings but finding a healthy way to deal with them, so they don't control us. Like superheroes learn to use their powers wisely, regulating emotions empowers us to handle life's ups and downs with resilience and grace. In this episode, learn from Lisa A. Romano how to best regulate strong emotions through the power of validation.  Join Lisa this April, as she relaunches her 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program for those wishing to heal codependency and break free of the chains of generational trauma, rooted in abandonment.  https://www.lisaaromano.com/12wbcp

Trauma bonds are one of the most challenging aspects of a toxic relationship.

In this episode, learn about how trauma bonds interfere with rational thinking and how you can break free of such toxic beliefs so to set yourself free from the bondage of an unhealthy, manipulative, and crazymaking relationship.

Narcissists tend to be incredibly mean, vindictive, and vengeful. Understanding why can help better navigate these difficult relationships with people with high-conflict personalities. Narcissists can be mean because, deep down, they struggle with an intense need for admiration and validation. Their behavior is often driven by fragile self-esteem, and they may lash out to protect their perceived superiority or deflect attention from their insecurities. The need for control and a lack of genuine empathy contribute to their mean-spirited actions, as they prioritize their own desires and disregard the feelings of others. While it may seem like they are confident and self-assured, their meanness often stems from a fragile sense of self that requires constant validation from others, leading to manipulative and hurtful behaviors. When a narcissist feels challenged, they lash out needing to regain power in the relationship. Tune in and listen to Lisa A. Romano help you better understand why narcissists are so mean.
