Summary
Why do codependents seem to attract emotionally unavailable partners while unknowingly pushing away healthy, loving individuals? In this episode, Lisa A. Romano unpacks the subconscious patterns rooted in childhood that drive these relationship dynamics. You'll learn how unresolved wounds from emotional neglect, abandonment, or inconsistent love set the stage for repeating toxic cycles in adulthood. Codependent people live in a box, and until they breakthrough codependency, which resides as a pattern and paradigm in the subconscious minds, it is not possible to live an authentic life.
Through self understanding and practical insights, we explore:
- How the need to feel "needed" blinds codependents to red flags.
- Why healthy partners may feel too "boring" or unfamiliar.
- The role of self-worth and inner child healing in breaking these patterns.
- Steps to begin attracting the right partners by cultivating self-awareness and self-love.
If you've ever wondered why you feel drawn to partners who repeat the pain of your past or struggle to trust when someone truly loves you, this episode is for you.

| 0:10.6 | and certified life coach, I've dedicated my life to helping others understand the incredible |

| 0:23.2 | I created the Conscious Healing Academy, a three-part coaching and brain retraining program designed |

| 0:34.6 | My mission is to support you on your journey toward mental and emotional |

| 0:44.5 | tools, and transformative stories that illuminate the path to healing and self-discovery. |
