Summary
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.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Breakdown to Breakthrough, the podcast that empowers you to transform your life |
| 0:04.8 | by awakening to your true authentic self. I'm Lisa A. Romano, your host, as an award-winning author |
| 0:10.6 | and certified life coach, I've dedicated my life to helping others understand the incredible power |
| 0:16.7 | of an organized mind. I believe that true empowerment begins with awakening to our false self. |
| 0:23.2 | I created the Conscious Healing Academy, a three-part coaching and brain retraining program designed |
| 0:28.6 | to help individuals triumph over trauma and turn the breakdowns into powerful breakthroughs. |
| 0:34.5 | My mission is to support you on your journey toward mental and emotional |
| 0:38.6 | regeneration through conscious and deliberate awakening. In this podcast, I'll share insights, |
| 0:44.4 | tools, and transformative stories that illuminate the path to healing and self-discovery. |
| 0:51.8 | Namaste everybody. So today we're going to be talking about some of the fantasies that a co-dependent |
| 0:56.6 | person has to learn to release as they grow up. So when we are codependent, that basically means |
| 1:03.3 | that we have a lack of selfhood, that we are walking through life without really knowing who we are. |
| 1:09.5 | But to me, the real tragedy is that we don't know it. |
| 1:12.9 | When I was a young girl, when I was dating, when I got engaged to my ex-husband, when I married |
| 1:19.1 | him, when I walked down the aisle, and I knew I was making the biggest mistake of my life, |
| 1:24.8 | I just didn't have the data or the life skills to face my feelings. |
| 1:31.0 | I think our intuition is always telling us when something is wrong. And I think because of |
| 1:37.1 | childhood trauma and because of childhood emotional neglect, we have learned to distrust those |
| 1:42.9 | inner instincts and that is a tragedy. |
| 1:46.2 | But the good news is that we can learn how to take this spiritual and emotional and |
| 1:51.9 | cognitive U-turn and come back home to the self. |
| 1:55.1 | And we can learn to honor our intuition and get back in touch with our authentic feeling |
