Lisa A. Romano

I am an adult child of an alcoholic in recovery, a person in recovery from a relationship of emotional abuse and also a therapist. I follow the 12 steps as the central foundation of my recovery and also use other information from experts in coercive control like Lundy Bancroft. Lisa's work has consistently been helpful. She is one of the clearest writers I know of about issues involved in learning to live a healthy, mature, happy adult life when dealing with a wounded inner child, patterns of enmeshment or escape, ineffective boundary setting, lack of self-responsibility and inability to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy relationships. Her meditations are also great. All done in a container of understanding that comes from working this stuff from lived experience rather than from the position of "expert". There is a plethora of writers and coaches working on issues of narcissistic abuse and codependency... I keep coming back to Lisa as her work is so clear and helpful.

I have just completed the 12-Week breakthrough program with Coach Lisa Romano. Quite literally, this course has changed my life. I came into the course desperate for answers why my life was always in chaos. I thought I was doing everything I could to make a happy life for myself and the people around me, but it always ended with me the victim and questions of how did I go wrong again. I was sad, depressed and felt so misunderstood.

What I have learned from Lisa and this course is that I was never the problem it was my programing. She gave me the tools I never learned as a child to live a life of abundance and joy. It will be a lifelong journey and I must work at this for the rest of my life. There are no quick fixes in this. You will learn to live in this word knowing you are enough. You will learn to be the light in your life and the lives of those around you. What you give out will come back to you. The elation and relief I feel is immeasurable!

I came into this course with the hope of fixing and getting back all the relationships that went wrong because of my codependency. Not only didn't I get them back, I learned that letting go was the only way to ensure my happiness. I have hope and anticipation for the future I want now not the future I would have had if I had continued in my toxic behavior.

Lisa gave me "ME" back! I never met "ME" before! I love "ME" now! I am enough in this world and always was enough! Run don't walk into this course! Give it your complete attention! Invest in yourself! It truly is everything!

I've been a student of Lisa's for years. I've spent thousands of dollars in therapy and went to support groups with little progress, but I didn't know where else to get help and support.

I found Lisa on YouTube. I joined Lisa's paid membership site and then invested in her 12 week and master class. Best investment of my life. She uses an interdisciplinary approach to address the issue of codependency. In my opinion, she's the most knowledgeable person about codependency recovery. A lot of therapist have book knowledge, but it takes more than intellect to recover from codependency. Lisa teaches her students HOW TO overcome codependency. She encourage her students if they need more support to get help from a trauma informed counselor. She's not a know it all that says her way is the only right way. She encourages her students in their own journey even if it's not in the same as her personal beliefs and values. She combines science with spirituality for a wholistic approach to healing.

In 2018 I joined the Breakthrough Program with Lisa A Romano after watching lots of You tubes, meditating,
That started to help me in the beginning, which is why I sought out the program.
I had previously been to therapist, pyschiatrists, you name it and may different therapies, nothing showed me more direction, addressed the issues that no therapist would. Getting Better, rather than focusing on the
Muck and Mire of the past. Feel the feelings, process them and most importantly let them go and Say No
To the subconscious programming that permeates our body and our mind.
She is excellent and now I will take the Master class.
The Universe speaks to us and Lisa's on a high vibration, I said yes and I never looked back, it was
The best investment in myself I could make.
Peace and love to all!

After many years of looking to get to the root of my triggers and finding different options, but nothing really working for me, I came upon Lisa's mediations on Insight Timer and that was just the beginning of change. The first meditation had me in tears as I could feel the release of sooo many wounds that I had stored in me. Then once I found her youtube channel, my whole world changed - literally, from the inside out.

Lisa is humble, authentic, genuine and she is someone that has walked the walk and has done all the same healing, that she has helped me with. She speaks to me, she resonates with me and she has a tribe of people that has been healed along side of me. I am honoured and grateful to know her, to walk the same walk she did and to also share the teachings I have learned by living my true authentic life. I am forever changed and truly grateful for all she has done for me... thank you is just not enough! Lisa, you gave me my life back and helped me find ME! Love ya girl! Xo

I have been in and out of therapy for 20 years and have suffered from anxiety, depression and CPTSD. I am the daughter of an alcoholic and have suffered from domestic violence, emotional and sexual abuse. I am a codependent recovering from malignant narcissist abuse. I discovered Lisa A. Romano when I was desperately searching for help in order to move on, heal and to be able to live. My years of therapy did nothing to help me recover except to let me vent. Lisa has changed my life! Lisa has helped me heal generations of trauma. My CPTSD is on a healing journey, I can sleep at night now. My body doesn't ache all over anymore. Lisa does amazing work and has a deep compassion for her work. It is with great honor and humbleness that I write this review. Namaste.

My review is based on: 1. Doing 1:1 coaching with Lisa for 6 months; 2. Taking the 12-week breakthrough program; 3. Taking the MasterClass; 4. Enrolling in the Warrior membership; 5. Watching the youtube videos.

Lisa's programs and work were an "AHA" moment for me, the one Id been seeking my whole adult life. Not only did I finally understand what was driving my emotions and self defeating patterns, but I also began to arm myself with tools to de-program my brain, decrease the trauma response, and move toward hte good things I want in my life. Lisa's work is unique, in that she is not only concerned with helping us understand what is going on with us, but also helping us break free and realize our dreams. This is the only program that has provided me with truly usable tools to retrain my brain.
No self help program or coaching is a silver bullet, it's not a magic pill that you take and move on. If you are expecting that, good luck finding it. I also have a therapist and do other things but I find they all complement Lisa's work, which is my foundation. Lisa has incredible empathy, and interacting with her, having her support, made a huge difference in my life.
I wish you the best in finding what works best for you in growing beyond your self limiting, life limiting programming. For me, Lisa's work has been the most useful and powerful thing I have done. I really connect with how she explains things. I'm so grateful for her.

Every single person on the planet needs to know and understand the teachings of Lisa A. Romano! Period. Lisa is a courageous explorer of the mind who has discovered connections to how we, as human beings, operate. How are our basic skills, that serve us every second of our lifetime, formed?

I first found Lisa over 6 years ago, at 52, after I had literally run out the door of a nice house in a nice neighborhood when the guy wearing tailored suits going downtown to work hired a man to harm me because I had discovered he was a diagnosed sociopath and had stolen large sums of money.

And now, when I finally realized my current relationship revolved around someone else's needs and wants instead of my own. And that, once again, I was loosing my voice and my very self. Why am I sad and attract people that cause me pain?! I only thought that I had taught myself boundaries from Lisa's YouTube videos! That is when I decided enough and enrolled in the 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program.
I can hear Lisa's voice: "Who knew?! Dear Ones, Who knew?!". Lisa brings very complicated ideas and concepts to our hearts and brains, holds our hands and fearlessly helps get us from stuck to pain free forever. She has mapped the course and given us all the resources we need to instill real life change. She uses her own relatable life experiences: her shame, humiliation and fears to make us feel safe and eager to make our own journey to ourselves. Ever changing and evolving as intended. "Who knew…"
Hopefully and bravely (‘cause I know that I am Enough) I go, into the person I was always intended to be…
Forever and ever grateful,
K. C. Grant

Lisa's work is incredibly important and helpful to so many in pain and lost. So many don't understand the emotional and psychological abuse they've been subject to because it's so stealth and insidious. Lisa's you tube channel helped me understand and process and the codependency and narcissistic abuse I was suffering from as well as what role I played in enabling toxic relationships. When I hit rock bottom after leaving my unhealthy marriage I didn't think I would survive the pain was unbearable! I signed up for Lisa A Romano's 12 week class in desperation for relief and what a difference it made! I was able to find me again in a privet FB group supported by Lisa her wonderful moderators and my classmates who were going through many of the same struggles. Knowing that it's not me it's just my program and that I have the ability to change the program is empowering, the support and validation in this community is invaluable! I continued on with the Master Class which is a natural continuation of healing and growth moving forward to create your life! Lisa A Romano has been ranked the #1 most influential person on Digital Journal 6/19/2020. I highly recommend her coaching and if not finding her work, well I would still be where I was and I am in a much better place. Thank you Lisa

Lisa Romano, I believe Has Nailed the Inner Dynamic between the Beliefs and indocrination that perpetuate Suffering in Power in Control Relationships. An old Paradigm of relating that kills off life and does not allow for freedom Joy and expansion. Her message Is so needed especailly living in these unprecedented times... Some Choose to remain in the Faulty thinking pattern the perpetuates and breeds deceit and inauthenticity. Her work and Passion for this conversation Creates the platform for real Transformation on the physical level as well has the spiritual Level. Learning how to Feel good and embrace your loving Divine Self... I believe that many will not embrace because of the great courage and commitment to Leave these addicted relationships and addicted outdated thoughts that are only beliefs that create more bondage and some really enjoy that dynamic without even being aware... So Much Love Here for You Lisa And Your amazing gift of clarity and Wisdom Love Patricia

OMG…I do not even know where to begin when I think about my life today compared to what it was 3 years ago before knowing Lisa. Between Lisa's books, Masterclasses, Youtube videos and Coaching, I have evolved and grown more in 3 years then I have in my 50 years prior. I never knew how much my childhood environment and acquired self-preservation behaviors had been ruling my life before and well into my marriage. Lisa opened my eyes to these patterns and showed me how my life today mirrored the environment I grew up in. Awareness is half the battle. Lisa completes the other half by providing real solid tools to help change the behaviors and patterns that are keeping you stuck in the same endless loop. The best way I can find to describe it is.…. My life had literally been like a caterpillar stuck in its cocoon, not knowing it was stuck nor where it was stuck. Today, I now see that I have wings and I can fly. Sometimes my wings are shaky, but I know how to find the rhythm again. I will be forever grateful to Lisa Romano for helping me to learn that I had wings and showing me how to use them.

LISA A. ROMANO stands out over and above the darkness that is lurking on this planet! Her work is brilliant and frees the mind, body and soul from fear that binds. SHE TELLS THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. Her no nonsense approach to healing the pain and darkness that leads to more abuse, addiction, suicide with the simple message that YOU ARE ENOUGH, and ITS NOT YOU, ITS YOUR PROGRAMMING is the key to freedom. Her work is TRUELY from HER HEART. This is the real deal and if you are looking for some insight, check out her youtube channel!

Why Lisa A. Romano's 12-Week course is a winner for your 2022 year and beyond!

Welcome to 2022!
Greetings all. A blessed and prosperous happy new year to each of you and all of yours.
As we look at the start of a new calendar and Lunar year, we look for places/people/events that will enhance and cultivate our minds, bodies, and spirits to new potentialities. As we create and desire new resolutions and evolutions for ourselves in the new year (or new year's!) the 12-step program from Lisa and the team may be a good fit for your goals, desires, and inner work for the new year.
I began the 12-step on-demand program in late August 2021 and completed it in mid-December 2021. As a promise to the team, I saved my review until after I completed the course, and to post after the new year to enliven and motivate our sisters and brothers into a new and exciting year. This year is yours! TAKE IT!
In this course you will travel to places where you itch, burn and even bleed. In that travelling, you will heal yourself... and perhaps others around you. This is not about confrontation with your enemies or abusers, it is about the quiet warrior strength that lives within each and every one of us. A quiet, yet activated peace, that will abide in your heart and spirit. An eternal peace.
Many of our brothers and sisters have demands, lives, and issues that may be beyond the 12-week commitment. If I have learned only one thing from my time with Lisa and the team, it is that: YOU ARE WORTHY AND YOU HAVE WORTH. Your worth is divine, and inscrutable, unquestioned, and magnificent.
While I attended this 12-week on-demand course, I was also working on my Graduate courses. It can be done, even with conflicts and demands. YOU ARE WORTH IT! And you have the support of a glorious team of individuals who will lend a hand, shoulder or kick in your $#*! if needed. There is time, take it, and there is space, find it, it is time for You to become, well... YOU! When would NOW be a good time for you?
I hope this review is helpful to new students to Lisa and her programs. Happy new year, I wish you all well, and as we share: NAMASTE.

I honestly don't know why there are these nasty and bad reviews for Lisa Romano. I grew up in a dysfunctional home, with a narcissistic mother and alcoholic step-father. I had no idea how this had really affected me until I had my own children and felt like such crap about myself. I had also kept attracting bullies and NPD people into my life for a while. Anyway, long story short - I'd been through many therapists, self-help books, etc. but it was really Lisa's work that changed me (and my brain really). You can watch youtube videos all day long, but her program includes so much more - well researched, thought out lessons based in science, personal coaching via livestreams and MEDITATIONS. The meditations are a game changer, because they sink into the subconscious. I am a completely different person today then I was 3 years ago and know how to live a fulfilled life. She approaches her work from a scientific and spiritual perspective, and has walked the walk herself. No therapist I've ever gone to has come close - nor have any youtube videos. -Jennifer Bombard

I began listening to Lisa Romano's videos On U-Tube in early 2018. Shortly after that, I took her 12 week break through class in March 2018. Then, her Master Class in August of 2018.

Her sharing of experiences and researched knowledge, has truly been a life saver for me! She has a genuine gift, (and when I say gift, I am referring to her having spent the great amount of time and study, to be able to help so many!), of being able to put very complex dynamics in families and relationships where narcissism, scapegoating, and more, exist, into straight forward, relatable and understandable terms!

She has helped me enormously in these areas and in realizing that I've lived my entire life as a codependent! I got so much out of her 12 week break through program. In fact, I have repeated it, and I get more out of it each time I do.

I have also benefited from taking the Master class, which goes hand in hand with the 12 week break through. After searching and listening to some others on these subjects, I am so happy to have found Lisa, and to be able to reap the huge benefit that Lisa's work and her classes have made in my life!

And I think there is a lot of inspirational stuff in this book that deserves attention. This author has a whole army of fans and I think it's for a reason.

It was a hard decision for me to make to spend the money (money is tight!) for Lisa A. Romano's 12-Week Breakthrough Coaching Program, but I am so very glad I did! It's one of The Best Gifts I could have given to myself!

I'm 7 weeks into her 12-week program, and I am SO grateful that I made the decision to spend the money on myself; an excellent self-investment. I'm worth it, you're worth it, and the program is worth it! I've been gaining the understanding, support, and well-honed tools in order to heal; finally.

Lisa's weekly Livestreams are AMAzing(!) and each week I think, " Wow! This week's Livestream was even MORE outstanding!" She takes a deeper dive than she even does on her YouTube videos, answers your questions, explains things more fully and with greater depth, and with her caring understanding (she's been through it too!). The Livestreams are so incredibly helpful as are her Journaling Prompts, videos, meditations, and homework, as well as her additional support system of her moderators, and the support we give and receive from one another in the private Facebook group is proving to be invaluable to help understand, feel supported, and not feel shame or guilt over our faulty programming (not our fault for sure!) while teaching us the tools to work with in order to heal ourselves and work our way out of the mess.

I highly recommend spending the money on yourself with her program to heal. You too will be glad that you made the decision to do so, even if the money is hard to come by in order to do this program; it's so worth it!

I realized late in life that I married a narcissist because my mother was also a narcissist. That's how out of all the choices I ended up with the "partner" I had. I had gone to therapy on and off but none of the therapists were well-versed in NPD. I was willing to work on myself but had no idea what I needed to do to heal.
Lisa A. Romano is amazing and offers real tools to help you recover from years of abuse. The 12 week program helped me recognize new memories that fit into the abuse pattern. I learned how to slow things down and observe and challenge my old way of thinking. Her approach was based in science but also recognized the spiritual and emotional parts of healing. I was able to make great progress. It is difficult work to confront all of this but it is worth it.
I made an investment in myself and Lisa A. Romano and then committed the time and energy to get the most out of her lessons. The livestreams were also incredibly helpful and supportive. Sometimes a member would ask a question and that answer was the answer I needed to hear to move foreward. Other times it was my question that got a personalized answer. I made more progress here in 12 weeks than I did in decades of therapy.

I had been in all kinds of therapy, trying different modalities, searching and searching for healing from a traumatic past for many decades. At best they were a drop in the bucket. At worst, I spiraled into a serious depression. Until I found Lisa. From the moment I started watching her free youtube videos 3 years ago, I was hooked. She got me! Even though we had never met. Then I called in to her webinar a year ago last June and she answered my question in a way no other mentor, therapist, friend, clergyman or teacher had ever responded. Her life changing response resonated so deeply that it had me (internally) shouting yes, yes, yes! I knew this was it and thank the good L-rd, I jumped in and signed up for her August 2019 coaching class. One year later, I have reviewed the 12 week life coaching class three times and taken her master class twice. I have even coached with her personally. She is a Godsend for me; intelligent, inspiring, compassionate, humorous, humble, a knowledgable teacher and highly attuned and skilled coach. Her love for every divine soul on this planet is evident with every word she speaks. I am deeply grateful for all that she has given me and warmly recommend her to anyone on the healing path.
