Summary
Codependency is a deeply ingrained pattern of behavior that can be challenging to confront and overcome. It stems from a dysfunctional relationship dynamic where one person enables and relies on another to meet their emotional and psychological needs. As a result, the codependent individual often loses touch with their identity, desires, and boundaries.
Confronting codependency can be difficult for several reasons. Firstly, it often arises from childhood experiences and learned behaviors, making it a deeply rooted pattern that feels familiar and comfortable, even if it is unhealthy. Confronting codependency means facing these deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors, which can be unsettling and uncomfortable.
Furthermore, codependency often involves a fear of abandonment or rejection. The codependent individual may have developed a strong sense of responsibility for others' emotions and well-being, fearing that if they assert their own needs or boundaries, they will be met with rejection or abandonment. This fear can make it incredibly challenging to confront codependency, as it requires stepping out of the caretaker role and prioritizing one's own well-being.
However, it is important to remember that confronting codependency is an essential step toward reclaiming your own autonomy, self-worth, and emotional well-being. It requires a willingness to explore and challenge deep-seated beliefs. You can learn how to expand your awareness, and become more honest with yourself, although this is incredibly challenging for someone who fears abandonment, criticism, and rocking the boat.

| 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. |
| 0:20.0 | My aim is to help people learn what it means to live above the veil of consciousness rather |
| 0:25.8 | than living a reactive life. |
| 0:28.3 | May your heart feel blessed, your mind feel expanded, and your spirit find hope as you |
| 0:33.5 | spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. |
| 0:38.7 | So today we're going to be talking about the eight pillars of codependency. |
| 0:45.1 | I want to create this session around helping people better understand codependency from the ground up |
| 0:52.8 | so that we can learn to take accountability for |
| 0:56.9 | how we're showing up in the 3D world. Because so many of us who find ourselves having the |
| 1:03.5 | traits of codependency also discover as we're learning to heal and learning to understand |
| 1:09.2 | codependency, we often discover that we have |
| 1:13.5 | found ourselves in relationships with people who tend to be energy vampires or with people |
| 1:20.5 | who tend to be takers, with people who tend to blame shift, with people who tend to lack accountability, people who tend to |
| 1:30.8 | be entitled, people who tend to exploit the kindness of others. And so I wanted to break down |
| 1:38.4 | this list that I created and help people who are really trying to figure out, well, where is the line in which I can be |
| 1:46.9 | more accountable for myself when dealing with other people? Because what you'll discover |
| 1:54.0 | on this path is that you're going to get to a past, you're going to get to a point or a crossroads |
| 2:00.5 | in your life where you realize that you're the common get to a past, you're going to get to a point or a crossroads in your life |
| 2:01.1 | where you realize that you're the common denominator and that nothing changes until you change. |
