After many years of looking to get to the root of my triggers and finding different options, but nothing really working for me, I came upon Lisa's mediations on Insight Timer and that was just the beginning of change. The first meditation had me in tears as I could feel the release of sooo many wounds that I had stored in me. Then once I found her youtube channel, my whole world changed - literally, from the inside out.

Lisa is humble, authentic, genuine and she is someone that has walked the walk and has done all the same healing, that she has helped me with. She speaks to me, she resonates with me and she has a tribe of people that has been healed along side of me. I am honoured and grateful to know her, to walk the same walk she did and to also share the teachings I have learned by living my true authentic life. I am forever changed and truly grateful for all she has done for me... thank you is just not enough! Lisa, you gave me my life back and helped me find ME! Love ya girl! Xo

Forever Grateful!
July 31, 2020

I found Lisa about 6 years ago and was struggling with all areas of my life. She has helped open my eyes and know that I am enough no matter what I have been told since a young age.
I have bought all her books and been a Breakthrough Warrior!
Lisa's new book The Codependent Manifesto is tremendous and recommend it to ALL!

I found Lisa's work approximately two years ago on YouTube. I found Lisa to be incredibly humble and I was impressed with her ability to understand brain science and how that affects our every day life. Lisa's spiritual energy also resonated with me as well. I have experienced professional psychotherapy as well as worked with life coaches in the past.

I have found Lisa's work to be some of the most effective in my life. To be clear, Lisa is a life coach. She does not claim in any way to offer professional psychotherapy or assistance. In fact throughout her material, free or paid, she often recommends that if one is struggling with deeper issues that perhaps professional psychotherapy help would be in order. She humbly discusses her own experience being very positive when she utilized professional help and credits it for some of her own breakthroughs.

The main purpose of Lisa's work is to help one uncover the faulty limiting beliefs systems that are often holding us back from living an authentic, and thus more rewarding life.

Some of Lisa's work such as the 12 Week Breakthrough Course, can be quite an intensive journey. For some it is possible that in the deep dive of self exploration of personality and past experiences, that one may find repressed memories and emotions arising, therefore it may be helpful to have a professional counselor guide you through

Lisa offers course levels for all income and experience. She offers courses of varying lengths and intensity. She offers the ability to take small, inexpensive courses, to "test drive" her work. She even offers quite a bit of free information through her YouTube channel, meditation site and podcast. Last but not least she has written several amazing books that are available on Amazon.

Overall the value that Lisa offers to her students is incredible! Like anything else you get out of it what you put into it. Lisa is not looking to be anyone's guru and she will say herself that she only holds up a light to help one find their own path. For me her guiding light has been invaluable.

A true blessing!
July 26, 2020

I started following Lisa's You Tube videos and found so much insight and healing. I continued on her website and joined a class which continued the journey.
She has an incredible talent for getting to the heart of the issue. I am so thankful and feel so blessed that she shares her skills with us...

I am an adult child of alcoholic (ACOA) parents. Over the last five years I have experienced the most excruciating, heart wrenching, grief and loss that a person can endure. Being in such a dark place I have been through hospitalization for my emotional, psychological mental health to deal with all of these traumas. I have been working with a mindfulness therapist. I have learned about cognitive behavioral therapies and many other tools. I've been affiliated with 12 step programs. I have read several self-help books. I have been working on all of the self-care and self-love that I could think of in regards to my well-being.It wasn't until I googled ACOA and stumbled upon Lisa A Romano's teachings, coachings, and videos. Lisa's approach, her methods, and overall content spoke directly to my soul. I have gone through her 12 week course, master class, and am currently working with her 1:1. As a professional myself I can't say enough about Lisa's work. She truly has guided me and save my life to endless possibilities as I continue to learn and grow because I do believe I AM ENOUGH. I am forever grateful to you Lisa. Thank you for all you do.

I joined Lisa's initial 12-Week Breakthrough Program in 2016 and initial Master Class Program in 2017 and will provide feedback both on my own experience and in response to a few other comments that are posted here.

As with many others, I was attracted to Lisa's programs after watching several of her YouTube videos. Lisa's ability to clearly communicate complex ideas and her openness to authentically share from her own experience particularly resonated with me.

Both programs include structured weekly videos, worksheets, meditations, weekly livestream calls, and an online community for group members. This balanced approach offers participants a chance to gain general exposure to program content and also personalized attention (through questions that are answered on livestreams and in the online community). The program is balanced in the tools it provides for cognitive, affective, and behavioral applications. It takes time and repetition for the lessons to sink in, and Lisa admits that her programs are not quick fixes. Still, there is a lot of encouragement to stay on track and to be accountable.

Yes, there is some rehashing of YouTube material, but there is more depth, support, and structure of the content in the programs. I gained more of a grounding in how the pieces fit together. If left to my own resources just by watching YouTube videos, then my growth and development would have been incomplete and hodge podge.

The communal aspect in Lisa's programs is especially encouraging and a big source of inspiration. Lisa's programs aren't only "Lisa's" programs but "our" (the participants) programs as we do the work together and support each other during the process. And Lisa helped to bring us all together.

Yes, the programs are pricey. Yet, there is an initial time period where a full moneyback guarantee is available. I have personally never felt that Lisa has flaunted her lifestyle, as a few people here have suggested. Instead, I feel that she comes from a place of sharing her life openly as an inspiration to others which includes some of the happier moments that may include material stuff. She also spends a lot of time talking about her own life challenges (past and present) with warts and all.

My rating is 4/5 because I believe there is always room for improvement in any program. Still, I am very satisfied with Lisa's programs overall and can recommend them without hesitation.

After decades of therapy, hundreds of self-help books, I found Lisa's content. A lightbulb went on and everything began to make sense. The early childhood analysis is crucial to understanding how we perceive and interact in the world. Without fully understanding how we formed the impression of the world in our early childhood, it is nearly impossible to alter those thought patterns as an adult.

What I love about Lisa A Romano is her down to earth, 'real' approach to healing co-dependency. Lisa walks her talk! She is kind and generous and smart and humble. Her many free you tube videos made me realize that even being in the second generation of an alcoholic grandparent, can make us susceptible to co-dependent traits.

The thing about co-dependency is that it conditions people to live in a 'victim' mentality and to hide their true feelings in relationships with others, for fear of abandonment. Unhealed co-dependents can be judgemental, controlling, duplicitous, hypocritical, jealous and downright nasty and this is apparent in some of the negative reviews on here.

It is hard work to overcome co-dependency. It takes dedication, courage, tenacity, and a willingness to tear down the walls of the old patterning and to rebuild a healthy, open, centred sense of self, built with healing the trauma and acquiring healthy tools and boundaries and lots of selfcare.

This is exactly what Lisa's courses are set out to do. The Breakthrough Coaching Program works on deconstructing the unhealthy patterning and the Master Class reconstructs what you want your life to be. But you need to DO the work! If you don't DO the work nothing is going to change!

I have done both the Breakthrough Coaching Program and the Master Class and there is plenty of support within the groups and from Lisa and the moderators. There is nothing to stop you seeing your professionals alongside the coursework.

Although I have spent a life time exploring personal growth work, I would not hesitate to recommend Lisa's courses to anyone dealing with co-dependency. They are specific and they work!

I cannot speak highly enough of Lisa's courses! They have changed my life in SO many positive ways! And I know many, many others who feel the same way.

I had been in all kinds of therapy, trying different modalities, searching and searching for healing from a traumatic past for many decades. At best they were a drop in the bucket. At worst, I spiraled into a serious depression. Until I found Lisa. From the moment I started watching her free youtube videos 3 years ago, I was hooked. She got me! Even though we had never met. Then I called in to her webinar a year ago last June and she answered my question in a way no other mentor, therapist, friend, clergyman or teacher had ever responded. Her life changing response resonated so deeply that it had me (internally) shouting yes, yes, yes! I knew this was it and thank the good L-rd, I jumped in and signed up for her August 2019 coaching class. One year later, I have reviewed the 12 week life coaching class three times and taken her master class twice. I have even coached with her personally. She is a Godsend for me; intelligent, inspiring, compassionate, humorous, humble, a knowledgable teacher and highly attuned and skilled coach. Her love for every divine soul on this planet is evident with every word she speaks. I am deeply grateful for all that she has given me and warmly recommend her to anyone on the healing path.

For years I was blind for the (covert) narcissistic abuse I endured during my childhood. Even while studying for my masters in psychology, the subject was only slightly mentioned. I found no answers for my knowing something was terribly wrong in my family of origin. Only when a therapist suggested the possibility of narcissistic abuse and after emdr therapy for complex trauma, my journey in the right direction started.
Finding Lisa A. Romano was the best thing that could have happen to me after that. There was still so much to heal, so much to understand and to discover, while my therapist told me the therapy was finished and I had to move on.
Lisa gave me the answers, insights and information nobody gave me so far. And even more, the so much needed tools to further heal and grow. The programs Lisa offers are no overnight wonder pills, which in my humble opinion do not exist for this kind of abuse. She offers fair, honest, wise and tremendous insights, tools and wisdom, which can help you find your way out of the negative, unconscious programs that are the result of abusive childhood or relationships.
I can recommend Lisa's work to everyone on the healing path that is willing to do the work. Lisa is a very honest, sincere, wise, loving and intelligent woman, she walked the walk and was able to connect the dots in a very structured, understandable and complete way.
For me Lisa and her work served as a lighthouse that helped me navigate out of the dark and gave me back the power, strength and love that residated in me all the time!

I wish everyone on this healing journey all the best, may you find the answers, insights, relief and peace you are looking for!

Transformative!
July 24, 2020

I began watching Lisa Roman's youtube videos after a breakup with a narcissist boyfriend. I had never heard that term before. I just thought I kept choosing unavailable, cruel men. They didn't show the cruel side until well into the relationship. My eyes were opened to the fact that my entire childhood was ruled by a narcissist and a co-dependent (although wonderful) mother. I was a product of childhood brainwashing. I found the reason why I had failed marriages and why I married someone just like my dad twice, even though I swore I wouldn't. Her videos and books are well written, easy to read and understand and are live saving. She is the real deal. If you need help, please watch her many videos. Your eyes will be opened to a whole new world of thought.

I am an adult child of an alcoholic in recovery, a person in recovery from a relationship of emotional abuse and also a therapist. I follow the 12 steps as the central foundation of my recovery and also use other information from experts in coercive control like Lundy Bancroft. Lisa's work has consistently been helpful. She is one of the clearest writers I know of about issues involved in learning to live a healthy, mature, happy adult life when dealing with a wounded inner child, patterns of enmeshment or escape, ineffective boundary setting, lack of self-responsibility and inability to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy relationships. Her meditations are also great. All done in a container of understanding that comes from working this stuff from lived experience rather than from the position of "expert". There is a plethora of writers and coaches working on issues of narcissistic abuse and codependency... I keep coming back to Lisa as her work is so clear and helpful.

Lisa's work is incredibly important and helpful to so many in pain and lost. So many don't understand the emotional and psychological abuse they've been subject to because it's so stealth and insidious. Lisa's you tube channel helped me understand and process and the codependency and narcissistic abuse I was suffering from as well as what role I played in enabling toxic relationships. When I hit rock bottom after leaving my unhealthy marriage I didn't think I would survive the pain was unbearable! I signed up for Lisa A Romano's 12 week class in desperation for relief and what a difference it made! I was able to find me again in a privet FB group supported by Lisa her wonderful moderators and my classmates who were going through many of the same struggles. Knowing that it's not me it's just my program and that I have the ability to change the program is empowering, the support and validation in this community is invaluable! I continued on with the Master Class which is a natural continuation of healing and growth moving forward to create your life! Lisa A Romano has been ranked the #1 most influential person on Digital Journal 6/19/2020. I highly recommend her coaching and if not finding her work, well I would still be where I was and I am in a much better place. Thank you Lisa

I'm taking Lisa's courses right now and she is amazing! My guess is those other reviewers are life coaches who aren't getting enough business. They're so full of BS. Do you think Tony Robbins is teaching anything new? NO. He's all repackaged. And THAT'S THE POINT! None of this is new - what's new is how a person can take the information and frame it in a way that someone (and, trust me, there are a LOT of people on the course who love her) - in a way that someone can finally hear.

Lisa never ONCE claimed or claims to be a trauma specialist - anyone who does ANY self help should know enough that unresolved trauma might be uncovered. Lisa has said that some people might need therapy. Her no nonsense sometimes 4-letter expletives are EXACTLY what I needed. How many people can take quantum physics, spirituality and real life experience and turn it all into a course you can learn from. I've gotten so much out of her course - do NOT believe these negative reviewers. They're probably a woowoo integrative health center that can't find clients because everyone's doing so well with Lisa's courses.

Folks - find out for yourself. Lisa has countless videos on youtube - watch them. If they resonate with you, get her book or take a course. Or don't! The videos might be enough for you. No one forced any of these people to pay for her course. Her stuff is online. But by taking a course you're getting everything laid out step by step along with support, journaling prompts, and a community to go through the experience with. I'm even thinking about hiring Lisa as a one-on-one coach. Check her out for yourself. I think she's amazing.

Great teacher
July 23, 2020

I've been a student of Lisa's for years. I've spent thousands of dollars in therapy and went to support groups with little progress, but I didn't know where else to get help and support.

I found Lisa on YouTube. I joined Lisa's paid membership site and then invested in her 12 week and master class. Best investment of my life. She uses an interdisciplinary approach to address the issue of codependency. In my opinion, she's the most knowledgeable person about codependency recovery. A lot of therapist have book knowledge, but it takes more than intellect to recover from codependency. Lisa teaches her students HOW TO overcome codependency. She encourage her students if they need more support to get help from a trauma informed counselor. She's not a know it all that says her way is the only right way. She encourages her students in their own journey even if it's not in the same as her personal beliefs and values. She combines science with spirituality for a wholistic approach to healing.

I absolutely loved the 12 Week Breakthrough Program and the Master Class. These two programs most definitely worked hand in hand for my personal growth. As I continue to dissect my personal life experiences, I am truly grateful and humbled. My journey with both programs was definitely the missing link that I needed to catapult my life out of generational trauma and have a higher understanding of how present experiences and past trauma held within the mind, body, and soul are deeply intertwined... Stay present friends... We love you Lisa

When you are ready, your teacher will appear! I found great help in Lisa's You tube videos. I also took her first 12 week program and I am currently taking her Master class. I definitely recommend Lisa to those ready to do the self healing work. Lisa is a GUIDE that is offering tools that will align with people who are done with being stuck. Lisa isn't a wanna be, her life is a perfect example of how she used tools to heal herself and shared it with those in the world who it aligns with. I LOVE the stories that Lisa shares about her life, it always has helped me put things into perspective. One thing about healing is that repetition is very important and was what I badly needed in order to stop ruminating thoughts in my brain. Real people, with real experiences seem to help me the most. If you are looking for a program, you must find someone or something that YOU are completely align with. I do see that there are bad comments on here, however the nature of those comments show how much work is still needed by these people. Also, Lisa's members are not a cult, we are a community of members who are at different levels in healing, different levels of trauma and experiences. Also, we all have FREE WILL to do, or buy, or to go, or to support who we choose. Please consider the negative comments you read here as the ACTUAL RED FLAGS! I also watch and follow other healers mentioned in these comments and Lisa's programs are what aligned TO ME and FOR ME. For me it was worth it. Also her you tube is super helpful in many topics if you can not finance her programs for yourself. One thing I learned from her is make your own choices, and you CANNOT put your lack of healing and blame someone else. Hold YOURSELF accountable, see your own bull$#*!, and grow.

Lisa's work has really helped me heal from a difficult childhood. Her work helps me overcome powerful and damaging messages that were programmed into me as a child. Anyone wishing to recover from growing up in an alcoholic or dysfunctional environment as a child will benefit from her powerful programmes.
