Summary
When you need to be needed, you make excuses for people and situations you shouldn't. You spend your life trying to be nice, without taking stock of how you need to cut yourself off from your true self just so others 'like you'. Codependents attract narcissists who drain them and until you awaken, you remain in this survival loop. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano helps make sense out of why so many of us feel stuck, and not good enough.

| 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. |

| 0:55.0 | All of these tentacles are put out into the universe for the purpose of taking care of other people. |
| 1:03.0 | This shows up in us not wanting other people to think of us as a burden. |
| 1:08.0 | And so what do we do? |
| 1:10.0 | We find ourselves a way to be useful to other people. |
| 1:14.4 | We look for people who have a need and we quickly move in to fill it. And this becomes so |

| 1:30.1 | which is very sad, by the way, we are teaching people to think less and less and less of us. |
| 1:38.3 | We think that by having no needs, we're doing the right thing. |
| 1:42.7 | And it works because as a child, we weren't allowed to have needs. |
