Codependency: Why You Tango With Narcissists
Manage episode 419989986 series 3561075
Are you stuck in a toxic relationship and can't seem to end it? And do you feel like you are in a one way relationship and no matter how you try to get heard, the person you are dealing with cannot, will not, or refuses to hear you or meet you half way? If you identify as a codependent, you may recognize that it is not easy for you to stand up for yourself, to speak your truth, or to say no. You may take care of others at the expense of yourself, and then feel incredibly wounded when others do not seem to consider your feelings, wants, or needs.
You may or may not be aware of how often childhood emotional neglect, parental gaslighting, and being raised by parents who only offer conditional love have conditioned you at the level of the subconscious to seek approval, all while subordinating yourself to others. So if you are an adult child of an alcoholic, narcissist, or were raised in a home that was unpredictable, critical and lacked emotional authenticity, this episode is for you, especially if you are aching to understand why you attract narcissistic people into your life.

Romano's 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program, designed specifically for the adult child who is ready to find their authentic self, despite a painful past.
