Summary
Are you someone who takes care of everyone but yourself, and who feels the silent need to appear perfect and as if you have no needs? Did you grow up feeling invisible, unheard and as if you needed to suppress your emotions and true self for the sake of keeping the peace or for the sake of avoiding rejection, abandonment or some other form of punishment? If so, you may find it more difficult than most to love yourself. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano helps us understand why some adult children of alcoholics and narcissistic parents find it so challenging to put ourselves first. Self love is not selfish. It's an act of honoring the power within, and when we do not love ourselves, it is as if we are placing the candles we are in dark closets. Each of us is entitled to love as much as any other person and when we begin by loving the self with self care tips, and by acting upon self love, we literally heal the wounds of our inner child, and begin reprogramming our subconscious minds for a healthy, more empowered sense of self.
