Summary
When you are an adult child of emotional neglect, or were raised in an alcoholic, narcissistic, or unpredictable home, you are not aware of how your brain wires the nervous system to be locked in survival mode. Daughters and sons of toxic parents learned to survive through hypervigilance, scanning the faces, moods, and body movements of those around them. This type of scanning, codes the brain for survival and fear anticipation.
The problem is, adult children from abusive, neglectful or toxic homes do not know this has occurred. From within the ego system, the little self assumes that what it feels, anticipates and experiences is all there is. This is why so many well meaning, and fully committed adult children who seek inner growth, personal development and healing, are baffled by why they feel so stuck.
Being prepared saves your brain energy, but when you are emotionally wounded in childhood, you do not know how your brain keeps you stuck in survival, and unable to escape, thereby locking you into loops of self sabotaging behaviors regardless of how often you hear your conscious mind screaming for something new and improved.
You'll learn:
• Why trauma trains the brain to predict danger (and pick the same partners/jobs)
• How insecure attachment, fawning & people-pleasing sabotage manifestation
• The role of the default mode network, metacognition & observer consciousness
• Practical tools to down-regulate, update your "inner algorithm," and choose new codes
• How to trust divine intuition without bypassing the science

| 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 |
| 0:16.0 | power 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, |
| 0:44.5 | tools, and transformative stories that illuminate the path to healing and self-discovery. |
| 0:50.3 | I'm going to see everybody. Thank you so much for being here. You are here for a neuromantifestation |
| 0:55.8 | workshop. My name is Lisa A. Romano. And I'm so honored that you're here. This is my opportunity |
| 1:02.1 | to teach you a little bit more about where I am in my work and how it is that we can bridge |
| 1:09.9 | neuroscience with trauma recovery, consciousness, |
| 1:12.6 | and end up being able to understand from a very logical place, what exactly is |
| 1:21.0 | neuro manifestation, the ability to consciously affect more deliberately outcomes, get out of predictive codes and start living a life |
| 1:31.6 | that you actually deserve and enjoy. My heart is with trauma survivors who don't know that |
| 1:37.9 | they're stuck or know that they're stuck and think that they're broken. My heart is with people who are the underdogs, the people who |
| 1:46.5 | are born into situations that they didn't ask for, to people that have been abusive, and |
| 1:52.0 | nobody likes to talk about it. And sometimes if you dare to tell the truth, you know, you'll, |
| 1:58.3 | you know, people raise their eyebrows at you or you're just stuck |
| 2:01.0 | in the past. Like, we'll talk about being stuck in the past, too, dear ones, because you absolutely |
| 2:07.2 | are stuck in the past. It's not your fault if you're stuck in the past, if you have trauma, |
