    How To Tell If a Narcissist is Lying: Telltale Signs

    How To Tell If a Narcissist is Lying: Telltale Signs

    In this episode, learn how to tell if a narcissist is lying by watching for these telltale signs! Liars are not always easy to spot due to their chameleon-like behavior; however, if you take the time to step back and gain objectivity, you will notice pervasive patterns that indicate the person you are dealing with has a propensity to lie. Narcissistic personality disorder is not always easy to spot.
    Covert narcissists manipulate by mirroring your empathy, for example, and without objectivity, you might be pulled in by their charismatic charm or their sob story. Narcissists manipulate others in various ways, such as gaslighting, projection, triangulation, smear campaigns, coercive control, domination, and power. They can also use stonewalling and the silent treatment to exert control over their targets.
    To learn how to tell if a narcissist is lying, you may want to sit back and observe consistent and pervasive patterns of inconsistencies, lack of integrity, shapeshifting, twisting the truth, devaluing those who challenge them, as well as noting when they are most reactive, which is often associated with when someone dares to challenge a narcissist's version of reality. Narcissists are grandiose in their self perception. They only hang out with those they consider 'special' or unique or with those who bolster their delusions of superiority. Dare to challenge a narcissist about their beliefs of superiority, and you must prepare to be annihilated.

    Loving Emotionally Unavailable Men

    Loving Emotionally Unavailable Men

    Women who love men they can't have are those who attract and are attracted to emotionally unavailable men. Emotionally unavailable men, spouses and boyfriends often mirror the relationships women have had with the male role models in their lives. In some cases, women who have suffered emotional neglect of a mother can also find themselves settling for emotionally unavailable partners. Women who lack a healthy sense of self, and who have been conditioned to feel as if they need to prove themselves worthy of love, generally do not attract high quality men. We are women who settle for breadcrumbs, beg for approval, are often codependent and emotionally dependent. 
    The good news is, Lisa A. Romano has found a way to breakthrough the cognitive distortions, subconscious programs, and habitual thought processes that keep women seeking the love of men they can't have.

    Mental Health Issues Caused by Narcissistic Mother

    Mental Health Issues Caused by Narcissistic Mother

    As the child of a narcissistic mother, your subconscious mind has been impressed with concepts, beliefs, and ideas that although helped you survive as a child, may work against your spiritual, mental, and emotional unfolding today. Being raised by a narcissistic mother poses significant risks to one's perception of self, which can taint every area of one's life. Children of narcissistic mothers struggle to honor, love, and respect themselves. They can become stuck in loops of self-sabotaging thinking, feeling, and behaving, leading them to codependent one-way relationships. Depression, anxiety, low self-worth, and a lack of self are just a few of the consequences of being raised by a narcissistic mother. If you have been raised in a toxic family system, if you are the adult child of narcissistic parents, or if you know of an adult child who has come from a dysfunctional childhood home, this episode will shed light on the struggles these adult children face. The good news is, as you awaken and identify toxic family issues, you can liberate yourself from the subconscious patterns, beliefs, and habitual thinking and behaving they have caused. Lisa A. Romano's life is proof that through an elevation of consciousness, it is possible to reclaim authority in your life, as are the thousands of adult children she has helped awaken and break free of the chains of the past.

    Rejecting a Narcissist: Part Two

    Rejecting a Narcissist: Part Two

    Rejecting a narcissist is not like ending a relationship with someone who is emotionally mature, or emotionally regulated. Rejecting a narcissist is akin to sticking your arm into the mouth of a hungry lion. Narcissists require power and control over others, and so when a source of narcissistic supply dares to say NO MORE, there are significant consequences that one must be prepared for. This is part two of Rejecting a Narcissist, and in this episode, you will learn about some predictable behaviors a narcissist will reveal, which can help you get out ahead of what to expect. The more you understand about their predictable behavior, the less controlled you will be by their manipulation tactics.
