About this listen

This story is told through the jagged peephole of the author's awareness, examining her formative wounds and influences from the perspective of a woman who has now gained experience and wisdom. As she peers over her soul's shoulder, she recalls the chaos of her once-fragile childhood mind. She shudders as she is reminded of the sting of her lonely childhood, her feelings of abandonment, and her painful memories of being bullied. Her childhood self was once so lost that she even contemplated suicide. As the years progress, her mind is riddled with obsession, compulsion, and a crippling sense of low self-esteem. A turning point arrives many years later, after marriage and the birth of three children.

This story is about healing the faulty programming of childhood. It is about recovery from relationship addiction, food addiction, anxiety, and constant fear. It is a human story that will resonate with listeners from all walks of life, and which offers hope to anyone who has felt imprisoned by the past.

Great book for self improvement.

I first learned of Lisa on YouTube. She has done the hard work to be as mentally healthy as she can be based on how she was raised. She is proof that we can overcome a terrible childhood and have a healthy, wonderful adult life. Thank you Lisa for sharing your story with us and please continue your videos. With love & gratitude, Debbie.

Wow

Lisa A Romano is the best teacher I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been on a lifelong journey of healing and her insights have opened doors I didn’t know existed. This book was profound in many way. First of all, her gut wrenching honesty is clear. Also, I am shocked to the point of paralysis from the fact that so many of her experiences are identical to mine. This is beyond what can be called coincidence. This has made me understand that these wounds create an energy that attracts certain events to come into your life. The purpose of which I can only conclude are meant to teach us what we are born to learn in this life. The reader of this book did the best job I’ve ever heard as well. I am sometimes distracted by readers of books not their own. This reader did an impeccable job of narrating the story and not trying to act it out which allows the listener to incorporate the story through the lens of our own imagination and experiences. Overall this audible book was amazing. A story well written and told and an audible well read. I can not recommend this book enough to anyone who wants to gain insight into codependency, childhood trauma and healing. It is my wish that this book find its way to all who need it. Namaste

A story of her life not tips for codependency.

I read a few reviews of people upset that this didn't give them tips and pointers on codependenc, I guess I knew going into it that this was just a story of her life. I loved it because I can totally relate and I can't wait to read the next one.
