Codependent - Now What? Its Not You - Its Your Programming
Lisa A. Romano
There are perhaps innumerable books on the market today explaining how a person might become codependent. The problem is, knowing why you may be codependent does nothing to help you recover from being a codependent, which is why I wrote this book. About fifteen years ago, when my life shattered around me I was dumbfounded after being diagnosed with clinical depression and told that my diagnosis was the result of being in a codependent marriage. I was just as shocked to learn that because I was raised by unrecovered adult children of alcoholics, I had essentially been programmed to think in a codependent way. With nowhere else to turn, I decided to learn all I could about adult children of alcoholics, as well as adult children of narcissistic parents in an attempt to help me understand the way my mind processed information and why. What I discovered changed my life, and in fact gave birth to the life I was meant to live.
Today I am a passionate self help author and Breakthrough Life Coach who is an expert in the field of codependent recovery. Over the last fifteen years I have collected information based on my professional as well as personal experiences that have allowed me to understand what it takes to heal the codependent mind, and to liberate ones self from the web codependency truly is. 'Codependent--Now What?, Its Not Your Its Your Programming' is nothing short of a codependency manifesto. In it you will not only learn deep insights about the true causes of the codependent mindset, but you will also be given the tools you need to heal your childhood programming once and for all. When I was new to codependent recovery, I kept asking myself, "Why can't I find a book that explains how I can heal from this?" As a Life Coach I have heard countless clients ask me for tools to help them heal. This book is not only what I was asking for so many years ago, but it is what most people are in need of once they too discover that the root of so many of their ongoing troubling interpersonal issues is related to codependency.
Editorial Review
Review
I have read all of Lisa A Romano's books to date. I love her style of writing because it is as if she is talking directly to me as I read the words off the page. I highly recommend her work, her YouTube Channel is amazing! Her teachings are phenomenal and she has helped me to see that I too am more than enough! If you ever feel unseen, unheard, and dismissed in life than her work is for you!
As children growing up in the 60s and 70s the motto was that children are to be seen and not heard and unfortunately many of us came from homes like that and we didn't receive the sincere validation that has human beings is so vitally important for our development as kids.
Lisa walks you through her journey, through the muck and the mire and then she takes you on a journey of recovery. It is not an easy one but it is certainly a powerful one!
Thank you, Lisa, for all that you do!
In love and light!

From The Author
"Many of us are awakening to the idea that at the heart of many of our dissatisfactions with life is a codependent thinking process. It is critical to understand that a thinking process is something that can be altered. What children learn in childhood becomes the basis of their subconscious belief systems. If the people you loved were unable to meet your emotional needs, you may have decided that your inability to feel loved is somehow your fault. When these faulty ideas become reinforced overtime, people grow and mature unaware as to what is happening in their subconscious mind. Someone who is not self aware will then go out into the world and unknowingly recreate the childhood experiences they experienced as a child. People attract what they know, and unless someone can become increasingly self aware, they will be unable to shift their now and or future life experiences.
This book is full of the tools I learned along my own healing journey. These tools have been tried and tested on my personal coaching clients. Many of the tools are also a part of my 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program, that is proving to have the ability to change people's lives. The key is to become self aware enough to be able to detach from the beliefs that are at the root of the behaviors you are wishing to change. I have committed my life to helping others heal the way I have, because I believe as one person heals, so does the world."
