About this listen
Liberate yourself from the tyranny of codependency.
When you are codependent, you are unconscious. You do not know that emotional neglect has caused your brain to believe life is a threatening reality. Instead of believing you are worthy of love, you feel unworthy of love. You do not make choices because they might bring you joy. You play it small, try not to rock the boat, people-please, and focus on what you do not want to happen versus what you would like to happen.
Now, awaken, understand, and learn how to confront the illusionary dragon that codependency is. If you are the adult child of an alcoholic or have been raised by narcissistic or emotionally immature parents, your childhood conditioning may have programmed you to believe you are unworthy, incapable, and or not enough. Learn how raising your awareness of subconscious patterns can help you heal your life.
The Codependency Manifesto: Clearing the Way Out of the Codependent Mind blends science, psychology, and spirituality to approach healing and wellness from a holistic approach. Author Lisa A. Romano is a certified life coach, best-selling author, radio show host, and expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse. Romano is also a recovering codependent.
She wrote The Codependency Manifesto to help bring about peace in the individual, with the hopes of having that individual then bring peace to their part of the world. She wrote this book out of a belief in human potential once awakened.

She shudders as she is reminded of the sting of her lonely childhood, her feelings of abandonment, and her painful memories of being bullied.

Much like gravity, the law of attraction is a natural law of the universe, and one that governs every interaction you ever have. You can only attract into your experience those things that resonate with you on an emotional and or vibrational level. It is no coincidence that women who marry alcoholics had alcoholic fathers, grandfathers or uncles. What a child experiences in childhood determines that beings emotional set point; their point of attraction.

These affirmations were specifically created to help heal the unconscious belief systems responsible for low self-esteem - low-self worth - guilt - shame - fear - and primarily codependency. All relationships in life are mirrors of the relationship we have with Self. The relationship we have with Self is the result of the value or lack of - we absorbed about Self when children. If when we were children and forming ideas about Self - we were taught to believe we had no worth - then our ideas about Self are fractured.

Lisa A Romano Speaks To Me Profoundly
I was shocked by the low rating of this book. I've listened to 100's of audiobooks and this one stands out as one of the best I've ever "read".
I'm a 70 year old child of an alcoholic and I wish I had this book 50 years ago. My father died when I was 5 and my mother was an emotionally absent alcoholic. I have carried shame and feelings of worthlessness for my entire life and did not understood why.
Even though most of my time on this planet is past, I am determined (through God's mercy) to heal from these feelings.
Lisa A Romano has impacted my life in a wonderful way and I am very grateful to her. Thank you Ms. Romano.

I know I needed to hear this.
I like how this book helped me look inside more. For many years I've put other people before myself. I'll take all the tools and tips to be in control from here on out. There were many eye opening topics and plenty of tools to help face self placed barriers.
I was able to make correlations when stories were told that didn't quiet fit my life. If you are worried about fixing others this book may help you see how much that's taking from yourself.

Buy the hard copy instead
An excellent follow up/follow through to her Road Back To Me autobiography, but it is essentially a workbook of journal questions and as such, listeners would be better served with the hard copy vs using up an audible credit.
