Namaste Dear Ones!

I 'see' YOU, I 'hear' YOU, and I can 'feel' you!

If you are the adult child of an alcoholic, or if you are the adult child of a narcissist, of if you are unsure of your parent's emotional issue, and you believe you have been raised by dysfunctional beings, know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

However, I know--you may absolutely 'feel and believe' you are alone.

Dear One, the key to healing is found in the very aspects of our selves that we have been conditioned, programmed and brainwashed to deny, suppress, repress and be ashamed of.

Yes!

Saturday January 10th, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. EST, broadcasting live with questions and answers from callers, Lisa A. Romano.

If you are the adult child of an alcoholic, or narcissist; if you have grown up feeling like you were never enough; if you fear your feelings--or have been taught that what you think does not matter--please consider calling in to ask Lisa any personal questions you might have.

This will be a live broadcast, and all are welcome to listen and call in.

Namaste!

We Are One!

Below you will find an amazing article that should be able to help de-clutter the tangled web of thoughts, emotions and ideas you may have regarding the classic question, "What is normal?"

So many of us struggling codependents don't know what healthy or normal is.

We were abandoned long ago by parents who were self absorbed--controlling--and ignorant to what their true role was in our lives. As a result, we...
