Listen in as renowned Life Coach and bestselling author Lisa A. Romano carefully explains how growing up in a dysfunctional home impacts the developing personality.
As she explains, our authentic self is waiting to emerge, however, without inner child and emotional recovery work, our trauma personality remains a mask.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. |
| 0:06.0 | My name is Lisa A. Romano. |
| 0:08.0 | I am a life coach, best-selling author, YouTube vlogger, meditation teacher, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse. |
| 0:16.0 | I am a believer in the power of an organized mind. |
