It's not you, it's your programming!
This is my new mantra and I'm thankful to Lisa A Romano for talking about her journey through her own personal hell, which unconscious behavior manifested, and rising out of the abyss by using skills and strategies she's learned along the way to catch and shift her thoughts. I see in me and my own life, similarities that codependent patterns brought about through my attachment to unavailable men over and over again and the wounded children I was instrumental in raising and passed along generational feelings of unworthiness, unseen-ness and the overall general sense that I am not enough. People I chose to bring close to me and call friends are conditioned to take advantage of me because that's the social contract I force on them to avoid abandonment... it's all connected and Lisa's language and style resonate with me as I traverse my own awakening journey. I'm indebted to her informational videos, books, podcasts, blog, meditations and classes for her unwavering dedication to wake us all up and offer a different perspective on our overall health and happiness as it stems from her research to connect it all... the spiritual, physical, psychological, biological, vibrational, hormonal, chemical, etc, etc! She brings a real-ness to the concept of "codependency" through her focused research, therapy, interpersonal skills, vulnerability to use her own life as an example, and simply being an interesting storyteller. I personally love her personal life examples of showing us (codependents) how to shift our perspectives to see things for what they really are and to use specific skills (with her own personal language) to keep us free from negative and stressful situations (shutty shutty... lifesaver!). She's one of a handful of people I've found on YouTube that shows us that trauma is real and although there may be different levels and extremes of trauma, the effects of an abused and neglected child are lifelong, insidious and depleting nevertheless. The majority (if not all, to one extent or another) of people out in the world are "walking wounded" and are deserving of compassion and peace, especially people that hurt us. The money I spent on the 12 Week Breakthrough Program and the Master Your Own Reality course was well worth it because of the ongoing support from Lisa as well as her moderators... I feel connected to this group of people with similar life experiences and continue to experience "ah-ha" moments right along with everyone else. She puts it all out there personally and lays out the trajectory her life has taken when using skills and strategies to keep the peace as she flourishes and grows! She's the real deal! Thank you, Lisa, for sharing your own journey into finding peace, creating your life journey AND bringing as many of us along as possible, onto the path of living a conscious and deliberate life of happiness and joy.
E Tolle says, "Awakening is irreversible"... Through Lisa's courses, videos, blogs, books, etc, I now realize the profound depths with which the human spirit must heal to find my bliss point.
