Codependency: Why You Tango With Narcissists

Are you stuck in a toxic relationship and can't seem to end it? And do you feel like you are in a one way relationship and no matter how you try to get heard, the person you are dealing with cannot, will not, or refuses to hear you or meet you half way? If you identify as a codependent, you may recognize that it is not easy for you to stand up for yourself, to speak your truth, or to say no.
You may or may not be aware of how often childhood emotional neglect, parental gaslighting, and being raised by parents who only offer conditional love have conditioned you at the level of the subconscious to seek approval, all while subordinating yourself to others.

So, if you are an adult child of an alcoholic, narcissist, or were raised in a home that was unpredictable, critical and lacked emotional authenticity, this episode is for you, especially if you are aching to understand why you attract narcissistic people into your life.

Eye opening and scary at the same time! Thank you Lisa!

I am out of a fishbowl and love the adventure of my path towards the self. It’s hard but it works. Thank you for being an inspiration.

Thank you for another powerful talk.

Thanks, Lisa. I liked your perspective of these narcissist, these toxic people are there to help me wake up. That’s a really positive way to look at it. Keep up the great talks. 🥰🌞💛🌻🥰🌞💛🌻

I've done years of self-work, yet still seem to have difficulty with relationships. As an HSP, I've been a target of narcissistic abuse several times, and though I am better at recognizing the red flags earlier on, I still seem to attract them and those that are not self-aware. I've been trying to figure out what's going on inside me that is causing it. There were many things in this talk that gave me insight and helped me to understand what direction I need to go in order to address it. I did some codepenancy work years ago with a counselor, and it's clear to me now that I need to circle back around into deeper layers. Thank you, Lisa. Your work has been instrumental to me regarding learning about narcissistic abuse and healing from it. I'm grateful to have you here on IT. 🙏♥️🙏
