    Signs a Narcissists Wants Back in Your LIfe

    Signs a Narcissists Wants Back in Your LIfe

    In this episode, you will learn about the signs a narcissist is trying to get back into your life. Recognizing the signs of a narcissist attempting to re-enter your life is paramount on your journey of healing and self-discovery. Hoovering, dear one, is the insidious tactic these individuals employ to suck you back into their web of manipulation and control. It often starts subtly, perhaps with a seemingly innocent message or a casual encounter.
    However, pay heed to the underlying motives masked beneath their charm. Are they showering you with affection one moment and withdrawing it the next? Do you sense a familiar pattern of gaslighting and emotional manipulation resurfacing? These are the red flags waving vehemently, urging you to stay vigilant and protect your newfound sense of self. Coming out of denial requires courageous introspection and unwavering honesty with oneself. It demands a willingness to confront the uncomfortable truths about the dynamics of past relationships and the roles we played in them.
    By acknowledging the signs of hoovering, you're taking a crucial step toward breaking free from the cycle of toxicity. It's about reclaiming your power and refusing to be ensnared by the false promises and superficial charm of a narcissist. Remember, darling, healing begins when you confront the reality of the situation head-on, even when it feels daunting or overwhelming. Equipped with the wisdom gained from your experiences, you can forge a path towards healthier, more fulfilling relationships in the future. Recognizing the signs of hoovering empowers you to set boundaries and protect your emotional well-being. Trust your intuition, darling, for your inner compass guides you toward authenticity and genuine connections.
    By staying attuned to the subtle cues and refusing to be lured back into the toxic embrace of a narcissist, you pave the way for a brighter, more liberated future filled with love, respect, and inner peace.

    Codependency Ruins Relationships: How to Stop Being Codependent

    Codependency Ruins Relationships: How to Stop Being Codependent

    Subconscious fears destroy relationships. Unhealed, unacknowledged, and unprocessed faulty childhood beliefs are malignant in that even though you may not be actively healing them, they eat at your ability to feel secure and safe in relationships regardless. Codependency is the byproduct of feeling unsafe, invisible, unheard and unwanted as a child. It is a maladaptive way of viewing the self, which causes someone to feel subordinate to others and behave in ways that minimize the chance of rejection. Stuffing your emotions, not telling the entire truth, lacking boundaries, fawning and enabling are just a few ways in which codependency manifests in relationships.
    In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, the Breakthrough Life Coach, bestselling author and creator of the groundbreaking, trauma informed, brain based 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program unravels the origins of codependency through the eyes and experiences of one who has made the transformational journey back to the divine self. She is on a mission to help others awaken to the subconscious world each of us lives in so that we all might learn to ascend the limiting beliefs childhood trauma creates and causes us to remain stuck and settling for far less than we deserve.
