Lisa A. Romano’s story
Lisa A. Romano had a traumatic childhood that left her with deep wounds that affected her mental, physical, and emotional health. She was raised by a strict Catholic mother who was also a deeply wounded adult child of two alcoholic parents. Her mother struggled to offer love in a nurturing way, which left Lisa feeling responsible for her mother’s inability to offer her nurturing.
Shame became a constant in her life and led to eating disorders, exercise addiction, and codependency. When her body began to fail in her early thirties, a doctor told her that she should listen to her body because her body was listening to her. That’s when she had to accept that her marriage was failing, and her ex-husband thought she was crazy.
From his viewpoint, she had no right to be unhappy. His lack of concern, empathy, and desire to work on their marriage allowed Lisa to accept that she was in a toxic relationship. When her ex refused to work on their relationship, she found a therapist who diagnosed her with codependency and traced that back to being caused by being raised by two unrecovered adult children of alcoholics.
This set her on fire with a passion to help herself and others awaken and teach them how to stop living a reactive life and to instead live consciously, choosing how they wanted to live rather than making decisions based on negative childhood programming. Lisa A. Romano has since written and published eight best-selling books, three online courses, and a membership program that is specifically geared toward healing the adult child wishing to stop living for others.
