Narcissists and Boundaries. mp3

In this episode of Breakdown to Breakthrough, Lisa A. Romano shares why it is that narcissists must violate your boundaries. Once you understand these dynamics, you will be less likely to defend yourself unnecessarily, and the more likely it will be that you spot emotional predators sooner than later.

Healing From Parental Narcissistic Abuse
There are millions of adult children of alcoholics and narcissistic parents who have yet to discover the root causes of their toxic relationships, self alienation, and feelings of unworthiness, who feel stuck and unable to move their lives forward. For that reason, it is essential to continue to ponder who we are, why we are the way we are, and in what ways we can best get unstuck and move our lives forward despite a painful past.
Lisa A. Romano is one of those thought leaders in the world whose practical wisdom pierces through the many thick layers of decades of denial and mental confusion. In this podcast, you will learn why it is essential to recognize your family history. Much like not knowing your car has a flat, and therefore you never got out of the car to fix it, and remain frustrated for why you can't get to where you want to go, Lisa helps us take an honest and unafraid look at how our pasts as adult children, are like flat tires we don't recognize.
'As Lisa puts it, it's not us, it's our programming. And unless we take the time to gain self knowledge, what we don't acknowledge always keeps us stuck and sadly, we tend to recreate in our adult lives.
