Summary
In this episode, Lisa A. Romano Life Coach and bestselling author will discuss what many spiritual teachers tend to avoid. While some teachers instruct a student to drop the mind, Lisa believes that observing the mind, and learning to fully accept the contents of the mind, rather than avoid or deny what we may discover, is key to creating transformative experiences in our lives. She believes that narcissistic relationships offer us the opportunity to observe where our minds are stuck, and thus, what attachments there are we need to release.

| 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 |
| 0:24.9 | rather than living a reactive life. |
| 0:28.3 | May your heart feel blessed, your mind feel expanded, and your spirit find hope |
| 0:32.8 | as you spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. |
| 0:39.7 | So today, we're going to be talking about an aspect of spiritual recovery that many spiritual |
| 0:46.5 | teachers shy away from. |
| 0:48.7 | When we are thinking about healing from things like narcissistic abuse or childhood trauma, many of us get stuck in the mental |
| 0:57.7 | field. We get stuck in the mental field because our brain is designed to run away from forest fires |
| 1:05.1 | rather than towards them. And if we can for a moment imagine that emotional pain and cesspools of painful memories are equivalent to forest fires, |
| 1:18.1 | then we understand how within our being at an automatic level, at a subconscious level, at a neurological level, the mind is going to run away from |
| 1:32.3 | that pain. How does it do that? The mind suppresses, the mind rationalizes, the mind |
| 1:39.3 | denies, and the mind develops coping strategies to help with the negative emotions, the pain of the past brings up. |
| 1:48.5 | This is a wonderful design and very beneficial if we were all still wandering through jungles and |
| 1:57.2 | forests and needed to run quickly from predators like saber-toothed tigers. |
| 2:03.7 | The fight or flight system is a beautiful design. It is designed to allow us to fight an |
| 2:10.6 | attacker or to flee an attacker. The problem is that when it comes to trauma that we can't escape as in the case of living with a |
| 2:20.3 | narcissist or having a narcissistic parent, you can't run, you're dependent and you can't fight them. |
| 2:28.9 | You're stuck. |
