  Why You Keep Attracting Narcissists (Even After Healing Work) 17.08.2026 18mnt

  Why You Keep Attracting Narcissists (Even After Healing Work) A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Have you ever wondered why you keep attracting the same type of toxic person, even after therapy, self-help books, and years of healing work? Do you find yourself repeating painful relationship patterns while consciously knowing better? If so, you are not crazy. And you are not failing. In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano shares her personal story of why she continued attracting narcissistic and emotionally unavailable people, even after becoming aware of her codependency. Through deep psychological insight, nervous system awareness, and subconscious healing principles, Lisa explains why awareness alone is not enough when childhood trauma patterns are still operating beneath consciousness. This is not about blame. It is about understanding what is truly running the pattern. In This Episode You'll Discover: 🔹 Why conscious awareness alone does not automatically change relationship patterns 🔹 How childhood trauma shapes subconscious beliefs about love, safety, and self-worth 🔹 The connection between codependency and attracting narcissistic partners 🔹 Why the subconscious mind overrides conscious intentions 🔹 How emotional memory and nervous system conditioning shape attraction 🔹 Why people often repeat childhood dynamics in adult relationships 🔹 The role of emotional frequency, identity, and subconscious programming 🔹 How overexplaining, people-pleasing, and seeking approval keep toxic cycles alive 🔹 Why healing requires metacognition and observing your patterns objectively 🔹 How emotional regulation and subconscious rewiring help break trauma repetition cycles A Truth That Changes Everything: You are not attracting narcissists because you consciously want pain. You are attracting familiar emotional patterns that your nervous system learned to associate with love, survival, and attachment. What feels emotionally familiar is not always emotionally healthy. This is not a personal failure. This is subconscious conditioning. And what was conditioned can be changed. ✨ You are not broken. ✨ You were programmed through survival. ✨ And you can learn to choose differently.

  The Hidden Signs of Childhood Emotional Neglect (Why You Feel Empty) | Lisa A. Romano 14.08.2026 7mnt

  The Hidden Signs of Childhood Emotional Neglect Did you grow up believing your childhood was "fine," yet still struggle with emptiness, people pleasing, perfectionism, or emotional disconnection? If you've always felt like something was missing but couldn't explain why, childhood emotional neglect may be the hidden wound shaping your adult life. In this episode of the Breakdown to Breakthroughs Podcast, trauma-informed life coach Lisa A. Romano explores one of the most overlooked forms of childhood trauma. Unlike obvious abuse, emotional neglect is defined by what didn't happen. Through the lens of nervous system healing, emotional attunement, and inner child recovery, Lisa explains how growing up without emotional validation can affect self-worth, relationships, and your ability to recognize your own feelings. She also shares a simple reparenting practice to help you reconnect with yourself and begin healing. 🔑 In This Episode, You'll Discover What childhood emotional neglect really is and why it's often overlooked. Why emotional neglect is about what was missing, not just what happened. How growing up without emotional attunement affects adult relationships. The hidden connection between emotional neglect, people pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout. Why many adults struggle to identify their own emotions and needs. How emotional neglect impacts the nervous system and self-esteem. A simple daily reparenting practice to rebuild emotional connection and self-worth. 💡 A Truth That Changes Everything The emptiness you carry is not evidence that something is wrong with you. It's evidence that something important was missing during childhood. When your emotions were ignored or dismissed, your nervous system learned that your inner world didn't matter. Healing begins when you give yourself the emotional attention, compassion, and validation you deserved all along. 🌿 Healing Resources & Support 🔹 The 12-Week Breakthrough Coaching Program A neuroscience-backed, trauma-informed healing program designed to help adult children of narcissistic and emotionally immature caregivers overcome codependency, emotional neglect, and lifelong survival patterns. 👉 Reclaim Your True Self in 90 Days 🔹 The Breakthrough Warrior Membership Join a supportive healing community with guided meditations, journaling exercises, monthly coaching sessions, and practical tools for emotional healing and personal transformation. 👉 Join the Breakthrough Warrior Membership 🔹 Free Codependency Quiz Discover how childhood emotional neglect, survival programming, and family dynamics may still be influencing your relationships, boundaries, and emotional well-being. 👉 Take the Free Codependency Quiz 📱 Connect & Subscribe 🎧 Subscribe to Breakdown to Breakthroughs on Apple Podcasts and Spotify for weekly episodes on childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse recovery, emotional healing, codependency, and nervous system regulation. 📺 Watch Lisa's full trauma recovery workshops and educational videos on the Lisa A.

  Why Codependency Takes So Long to Heal 10.08.2026 15mnt

  Why Codependency Takes So Long to Heal A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Have you ever wondered why, even after years of self-help, therapy, or awareness, you still feel stuck in the same emotional patterns? Do you find yourself exhausted from overgiving, overthinking, fixing others, and trying to earn love, while slowly losing connection with yourself? If so, you are not failing. You may have been conditioned to focus on everyone else except yourself. In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano explains why codependency takes so long to heal and why many people stay trapped in subconscious patterns for decades without realizing it. Through deep psychological insight, nervous system awareness, and trauma-informed healing, Lisa reveals how codependents become hyper-focused on managing other people's emotions while unconsciously abandoning their authentic selves. This is not about weakness. It is about survival conditioning. In This Episode You'll Discover: 🔹 Why codependents are often hyper-aware of others but disconnected from themselves 🔹 How childhood conditioning trains people to become caretakers, fixers, and peacekeepers 🔹 The hidden signs of codependency most people completely overlook 🔹 Why people-pleasing and emotional overfunctioning feel like love instead of self-abandonment 🔹 The connection between emotional neglect and fear of expressing your true self 🔹 Why codependents struggle to answer simple questions like "What do I want?" 🔹 How subconscious patterns keep people focused outward instead of inward 🔹 Why overgiving, overexplaining, and emotional exhaustion become normalized 🔹 The role of nervous system conditioning in toxic relationship dynamics 🔹 How healing begins when you stop abandoning yourself to keep others comfortable A Truth That Changes Everything: Codependency takes so long to heal because the pattern feels normal. You were taught that love meant fixing, rescuing, sacrificing, and managing everyone else's emotions. And while your awareness stayed focused outward, your authentic self slowly disappeared into survival mode. This is not a personal failure. This is a subconscious survival strategy, and it can be changed. ✨ You are not broken. ✨ You were conditioned to abandon yourself. ✨ And you can learn to come back home to yourself again.

  Why You Can't Trust Yourself After Narcissistic Abuse (Self-Trust Recovery) | Lisa A. Romano 07.08.2026 6mnt

  Why You Can't Trust Yourself After Narcissistic Abuse Do you constantly second guess your thoughts, emotions, or memories after leaving a narcissistic relationship? If you've ever wondered why you can't trust your own judgment anymore, the answer may lie in the invisible psychological wounds created by narcissistic abuse. In this powerful episode of the Breakdown to Breakthroughs Podcast, trauma-informed life coach Lisa A. Romano explains why the deepest mental health wound caused by narcissistic abuse is the destruction of self-trust. Through the lens of trauma recovery, nervous system healing, and subconscious conditioning, Lisa reveals how gaslighting, intermittent reinforcement, and covert emotional abuse train survivors to disconnect from their own intuition. Most importantly, she shares a simple daily practice that helps rebuild self-trust one small step at a time. 🔑 In This Episode, You'll Discover Why losing self-trust is the deepest psychological wound of narcissistic abuse. How gaslighting teaches survivors to question their own reality. The powerful conditioning behind intermittent reinforcement and trauma bonding. Why covert narcissistic abuse is so difficult to recognize and explain. How emotional abuse changes the nervous system and disconnects you from your intuition. The surprising reason healing begins with keeping one small promise to yourself. Practical steps to rebuild self-trust and emotional safety after narcissistic abuse. 💡 A Truth That Changes Everything The greatest damage caused by narcissistic abuse isn't simply the pain someone inflicted on you. It's the loss of trust in your own mind, emotions, and inner knowing. Healing begins when you stop seeking certainty from those who hurt you and start collecting daily evidence that you can trust yourself again. Every promise you keep to yourself becomes another step toward emotional freedom. 🌿 Healing Resources & Support 🔹 The 12-Week Breakthrough Coaching Program A neuroscience-backed, trauma-informed healing program designed to help adult children of narcissistic and emotionally immature caregivers overcome codependency, rebuild self-worth, and create lasting emotional freedom. 👉 Reclaim Your True Self in 90 Days 🔹 The Breakthrough Warrior Membership Join a supportive healing community with guided meditations, journaling exercises, monthly coaching sessions, and practical trauma recovery tools. 👉 Join the Breakthrough Warrior Membership 🔹 Free Codependency Quiz Discover how childhood programming, emotional neglect, and survival patterns may still be influencing your relationships, boundaries, and self-worth. 👉 Take the Free Codependency Quiz 📱 Connect & Subscribe 🎧 Subscribe to Breakdown to Breakthroughs on Apple Podcasts and Spotify for weekly episodes on narcissistic abuse recovery, codependency healing, emotional resilience, and personal transformation. 📺 Watch Lisa's full trauma recovery workshops and educational videos on the Lisa A.

  Why Letting Go of Trauma Feels Like Betraying Yourself 03.08.2026 16mnt

  Why Letting Go of Trauma Feels Like Betraying Yourself Do you feel an overwhelming wave of guilt or sadness the moment you finally begin to feel lighter and happier? If you notice intense emotional resistance whenever you try to let go of past pain, you are not broken. You are likely navigating a hidden, subconscious belief that finding peace means abandoning the wounded inner child who suffered through the storm. In this powerful live workshop episode of the Breakdown to Breakthroughs Podcast, Breakthrough Life Coach Lisa A. Romano dives deep into one of the most frustrating psychological blocks trauma survivors face: the fear that healing your life equates to betraying your past. Through a trauma-informed lens blending nervous system awareness and subconscious retraining, Lisa explains why our brains unconsciously stay attached to suffering as a form of self-protection. This conversation is not about forcing yourself to move on—it is about learning how to safely integrate your story without abandoning yourself. 🔑 In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Healing Guilt Trap: Why stepping into emotional freedom can trigger severe subconscious resistance and anxiety. Trauma as an Identity: How old, frozen trauma responses become a familiar baseline for self-protection. The Inner Child's Fear: Why the youngest parts of you fear being forgotten or dismissed during your recovery journey. Repetitive Storytelling Cycles: How continuously retelling painful memories can become a subconscious way to validate your past. Suppression vs. Integration: The crucial difference between pushing your past down and holding it with active compassion. Dismantling the Betrayal Myth: Why emotional freedom does not mean denying or minimizing the reality of what happened to you. 💡 A Truth That Changes Everything You are not holding onto pain because you want to suffer. You are holding onto pain because a protective part of your subconscious believes that agony is the only proof that your inner child mattered. Healing does not require you to abandon that wounded child. True healing is learning how to stay connected to your truth today without requiring past pain to define who you are. This is not betrayal; this is integration. 🌿 Healing Resources & Support 🔹 The 12-Week Breakthrough Coaching Program : A neuroscience-backed, trauma-informed healing path designed for adult children of narcissistic or emotionally immature caregivers. 👉 Reclaim Your True Self in 90 Days 🔹 The Breakthrough Warrior Membership : Access specialized journaling tools, guided meditations, and a global healing community. 👉 Join Live Monthly Group Coaching Calls with Lisa 🔹 Free Codependency Quiz : Discover exactly how your childhood programming and survival strategies still shape your adult relationships. 👉 Take the Free Assessment Now 📱 Connect & Subscribe 🎧 Listen Weekly: Subscribe to Breakdown to Breakthroughs on Apple Podcasts and Spotify .

  7 Phrases That Stop a Narcissist From Overwhelming You 31.07.2026 16mnt

  Have you ever walked away from a conversation with a narcissist feeling completely drained — more confused, more anxious, and somehow more responsible for their emotions than you were before? Do you find yourself over-explaining, endlessly apologizing, or desperately trying to make them understand — only to end up exhausted and no closer to peace? If so, you are not broken. You were conditioned to respond that way. And these 7 phrases can begin to change that. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano — breakthrough life coach and expert educator on codependency recovery and narcissistic abuse healing — shares 7 specific communication phrases that help you disengage from emotional manipulation, protect your nervous system, and reclaim your autonomy without escalating conflict. These are not scripts designed to win an argument with a narcissist. They are exits. And knowing where the exits are changes everything. This is not about controlling the narcissist. It is about governing what you are willing to participate in. In This Episode You'll Discover: 🔹 Why every explanation, every defense, every fact you present feeds the argument instead of ending it 🔹 The exact phrase to use when you are being baited into a debate that has no exit 🔹 How to draw a line around the way you are being treated — without accusing, attacking, or escalating 🔹 Why codependents attach seventeen reasons to every no — and the one phrase that has no doorknobs for a narcissist to grab 🔹 The phrase that quietly returns emotional responsibility to the nervous system it belongs to 🔹 How to reclaim time and protect your prefrontal cortex when a narcissist needs an answer right now 🔹 Why "you might be right" is not surrender — and why it stops the machine cold 🔹 The hardest phrase to say — and why it is the one that finally sets you free A Truth That Changes Everything: You were not born walking on eggshells. You learned that your safety depended on managing another person's emotional reality. You learned that your job was to absorb the anger, keep the peace, and never, ever say no without a full explanation attached to it. You became an emotional employee before you were old enough to understand what that cost you. These phrases do not fix the narcissist. They fix the pattern inside you. What feels like an argument is really just supply. What feels like loyalty is really just a nervous system doing what it was trained to do. And what feels impossible to say may be the exact sentence your healing has been waiting on. ✨ You are allowed to disengage. ✨ You are allowed to say no without a dissertation. ✨ And you are allowed to stop managing emotions that were never yours to carry.

  The Machiavellian: Most Dangerous Manipulator Codependents Never See Coming 27.07.2026 17mnt

Romano breaks down how Machiavellian individuals use strategic kindness, emotional intelligence, patience, and calculated leverage to gain control.

  Why Codependents Ignore Red Flags (And Stay in Toxic Relationships) 20.07.2026 28mnt

  Why Codependents Ignore Red Flags (And Stay in Toxic Relationships) A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Have you ever looked back on a toxic relationship and wondered, "Why didn't I see the red flags sooner?" Do you find yourself constantly giving people the benefit of the doubt, overexplaining their behavior, or staying in relationships long after the warning signs are obvious? If so, you are not weak. You may have been conditioned to override your own instincts. In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano explains why codependent people often struggle to recognize narcissistic behavior and emotional manipulation in real time. Through deep psychological insight and nervous system awareness, Lisa reveals how childhood trauma trains the subconscious mind to normalize instability, dismiss intuition, and mistake emotional pain for love. This is not about being naïve. It is about conditioning. In This Episode You'll Discover: 🔹 Why codependents interpret discomfort as something they caused 🔹 How childhood trauma trains people to self-correct instead of self-protect 🔹 Why emotional inconsistency gets mistaken for love and connection 🔹 The connection between narcissistic parents and low self-worth 🔹 How codependents are conditioned to override their intuition 🔹 Why overgiving and people-pleasing become tied to identity and worthiness 🔹 How familiar chaos and instability become emotionally comfortable 🔹 Why narcissists are drawn to highly empathetic and agreeable people 🔹 The role of subconscious beliefs and nervous system conditioning in toxic relationships 🔹 How awareness and subconscious healing help break the cycle for good A Truth That Changes Everything: You did not ignore red flags because you are foolish. You ignored them because your nervous system was trained to survive by tolerating emotional instability, confusion, and inconsistency. What feels familiar is not always healthy. And what feels uncomfortable, boundaries, discernment, self-protection, may actually be healing. This is not a personal failure. This is subconscious conditioning, and it can be changed. ✨ You are not too sensitive. ✨ You were taught to distrust yourself. ✨ And you can learn to trust yourself again.

  10 Ways Narcissistic Parents Program You to Abandon Yourself A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Have you ever stopped and asked yourself, "Who am I beneath the overthinking, people-pleasing, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion?"

You were conditioned to disconnect from yourself in order to survive emotionally unsafe relationships. In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano reveals 10 deeply rooted ways narcissistic parents condition their children into self-abandonment. Through profound psychological insight, nervous system awareness, and trauma-informed healing, Lisa explains how childhood emotional conditioning shapes your identity, your relationships, and your sense of worth long into adulthood.

What feels like anxiety, guilt, and emotional confusion today is often the residue of childhood conditioning that taught you to ignore your truth in order to survive emotionally. This is not a personal failure. This is trauma conditioning, and it can be healed. ✨ You are not too sensitive. ✨ You were trained to disconnect from yourself. ✨ And you can learn to come home to yourself again.

  What Is Codependency? 3 Signs You Might Be Codependent 06.07.2026 27mnt

  What Is Codependency, And Do You Have It? A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Do you find yourself constantly focused on other people's problems, emotions, and behaviors, while feeling empty, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself? Do you struggle with boundaries, overgiving, or feeling responsible for how others feel? If so, you are not broken. You may be operating from a pattern you were never taught to see. In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano breaks down what codependency really is, beyond surface-level definitions. With deep psychological insight and lived experience, Lisa explains why codependency is not just about relationships, it is a subconscious pattern rooted in childhood conditioning that shapes how you think, feel, and relate to the world. This is not about fixing others. It is about finding yourself. In This Episode You'll Discover: 🔹 What codependency really is and why it is not listed in traditional diagnostic systems 🔹 Why anxiety, depression, rumination, and relationship struggles often stem from codependency 🔹 How being "the good one," the fixer, or the peacekeeper keeps you stuck 🔹 The deeper root of codependency in the subconscious mind and inner child 🔹 Why other people's problems automatically become your problem 🔹 The connection between lack of boundaries and emotional exhaustion 🔹 How childhood conditioning leads to self-abandonment and people-pleasing 🔹 Why codependents feel powerless, stuck, and unable to make clear decisions 🔹 How enmeshment, caretaking, and over-responsibility shape your identity 🔹 Why healing requires going back to the root, not just managing behaviors A Truth That Changes Everything: Codependency is not who you are. It is a pattern that was learned in an environment where your needs, feelings, and identity were not fully supported. What feels like love, responsibility, or care is often a survival strategy rooted in fear, abandonment, and subconscious conditioning. This is not a personal failure. This is a learned pattern, and it can be unlearned. ✨ You are not here to fix everyone. ✨ You were taught to abandon yourself. ✨ And you can learn to come back to yourself.

  3 Simple Ways to Reveal a Narcissist (Without Confrontation) 29.06.2026 14mnt

  3 Simple Ways to Reveal a Narcissist (Without Confrontation) A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling confused, doubting yourself, or wondering how everything somehow got turned around on you? Do you find yourself overanalyzing, replaying conversations, or trying harder to be understood, only to feel more stuck? If so, you are not missing something. You may have been trained to override what you already see. In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano shares three simple, real-time ways to reveal narcissistic patterns in others, without confrontation, labeling, or emotional escalation. Through clear psychological insight and nervous system awareness, Lisa explains why awareness alone is not enough, and how your conditioning may be keeping you stuck even when you see the truth. This is not about proving anything. It is about seeing clearly. In This Episode You'll Discover: 🔹 3 simple questions that reveal narcissistic patterns in real time 🔹 How to test boundaries and observe reactions without overexplaining 🔹 Why accountability is the clearest indicator of emotional health 🔹 The difference between healthy responses and control-based reactions 🔹 How narcissistic patterns react to autonomy and differing opinions 🔹 Why codependents struggle to trust what they see and feel 🔹 The role of childhood conditioning in self-doubt and overanalysis 🔹 How your nervous system responds when it feels unsafe to be yourself 🔹 Why awareness alone does not break subconscious patterns 🔹 How to move from confusion and rumination into clarity and self-trust A Truth That Changes Everything: You are not confused because you lack awareness. You are confused because you were conditioned to doubt your own reality. When you begin to observe behavior without abandoning yourself, everything becomes clear. The issue is not what you see. It is whether you trust yourself enough to act on it. This is not a personal failure. This is conditioning, and it can be changed. ✨ You are not overthinking. ✨ You were trained to override yourself. ✨ And you can learn to trust yourself again.

  Why You Fear Your Feelings (Codependency & Anxiety Explained) 22.06.2026 31mnt

  Why You Fear Your Feelings (Codependency & Anxiety Explained) A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Do you find yourself afraid to feel your emotions, constantly overthinking, or trying to control situations so nothing goes wrong? Do you say yes when you want to say no, avoid conflict, or feel anxious without fully understanding why? If so, you are not broken. You are patterned. And patterns can be changed. In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano explains why many codependent individuals are not just afraid of situations, they are afraid of feeling fear itself. With deep psychological insight and nervous system awareness, Lisa reveals how childhood trauma conditions the mind and body to suppress fear, creating anxiety, people-pleasing, and emotional overwhelm in adulthood. This is not about weakness. It is about survival. In This Episode You'll Discover: 🔹 Why codependency is rooted in fear, even when you are not aware of it 🔹 How childhood trauma teaches you to suppress and disconnect from your emotions 🔹 The concept of "fear of fear" and how it controls your behavior 🔹 Why people-pleasing, overgiving, and control are driven by hidden anxiety 🔹 How suppressed fear shows up as physical symptoms in the body 🔹 The connection between overthinking and anticipatory anxiety 🔹 Why trying to "think your way out" of fear does not work 🔹 How to become aware of fear without reacting to it 🔹 The role of the body in processing emotional energy 🔹 A powerful method to stop resisting fear and begin releasing it A Truth That Changes Everything: You are not controlled by fear because you are weak. You are controlled by fear because your body learned, at a very young age, that feeling fear was unsafe. So instead of feeling it, you learned to avoid it, suppress it, and control everything around you. But what you resist continues to control you. This is not a personal failure. This is a survival pattern, and it can be rewired. ✨ You are not too sensitive. ✨ You were taught to suppress your emotions. ✨ And you can learn to feel safely again.

  You Are Not Broken, You Are Programmed (And You Can Change It) A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Do you struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or feeling like you are never enough, no matter what you do? Do you find yourself stuck in the same emotional patterns, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or constantly seeking validation from others? If so, you are not broken. You are patterned. And patterns can be changed. In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano explains how childhood trauma and emotional neglect shape your identity, your thoughts, and your nervous system. With deep psychological insight and neuroscience-based understanding, Lisa reveals how your brain has been conditioned to repeat patterns that no longer serve you, and how real healing begins by changing the way you see yourself.

  How Childhood Trauma Taught You to Stop Feeling 18.05.2026 16mnt

  How Childhood Trauma Taught You to Stop Feeling A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Do you struggle to feel your emotions, connect deeply with others, or understand what you truly feel inside? Have you ever wondered why you overthink everything, focus on others' needs, or feel disconnected from your own emotional world? If so, you are not broken. You are patterned. And patterns can be changed. In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano explains why so many adult children of dysfunction learned to disconnect from their emotions as a survival strategy.

In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano breaks down the hidden reality of high functioning women who appear calm and successful, but are internally living in a state of chronic stress.

Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Have you ever felt like no matter how much you give, love, or sacrifice, it is never enough? Do you find yourself constantly trying to fix others, keep the peace, or earn your worth through overgiving and self-sacrifice?

In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano breaks down the truth about codependency beyond the surface-level definitions.

  10 Subtle Questions That Expose a Narcissist Without Confrontation 27.04.2026 21mnt

  10 Questions to Reveal a Narcissist (Without Confrontation) A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Have you ever felt confused by someone's behavior, like something feels off, but you cannot quite explain why? Do you find yourself questioning your reality, overanalyzing conversations, or feeling emotionally drained after interacting with someone?

In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano shares 10 specific, non-confrontational questions designed to help you identify narcissistic traits in others. With deep psychological insight and real-world application, Lisa explains how narcissism reveals itself through tone, defensiveness, lack of empathy, and subtle patterns of superiority.
