#codependency #codependencyrecovery #relationshipcoach In this YouTube video, learn about how to stop being codependent in relationships with Lisa A. Romano, the Breakthrough Life Coach, codependency recovery expert, and bestselling author. If you are codependent, you will struggle with real intimacy, tend to be secretive, pretend you are happy, say yes when you mean no, and in most cases, you won't even know you're behaving in a maladaptive way.

Adult children of alcoholics, adult children of narcissistic parents, children of emotionally immature parents, and those raised in homes wrought by addiction and denial are denied basic life skills. We grow up feeling loyal to our families despite the negative effects of a toxic family system. Our parent's unhealed childhood trauma gets passed down onto us, otherwise known as generational trauma.

Codependency is born out of childhood emotional neglect. As children, we learn how to fawn and please our parents. This is rooted in a fear of abandonment or rejection. We do not know our psyches are being molded to adapt to our unhealthy environments. Thus, our subconscious minds become downloaded with maladaptive survival skills we do not know we have until some major life event.

Until we awaken from the codependent fog and heal what our parents did not in their lifetimes, we pass codependency and our unhealed childhood trauma onto future generations. The good news is we can heal.

My name is Lisa A. Romano, and after I was diagnosed with codependency, I made a promise to myself that one day, once I figured out how to heal codependency, I would spend the rest of my life helping to inspire other adult children of alcoholics and those who suffered from childhood trauma due to dysfunctional, toxic family systems, to awaken so they could transform their lives. I have successfully healed from codependency, and my life has completely transformed. I no longer live in fear of narcissists, nor do I fear abandonment or rejection. I have found the road back to me, and today, I am committed to finding as many ways to let the light in me shine.

I want the same for all adult children. This is my mission.
