Are you the adult child of a toxic, alcoholic, or narcissist? If so, you may find it hard to make meaningful friendships. If this is the case for you, that is not your fault. Survival strategies created during childhood to keep you safe, may be keeping you stuck and in fear as opposed to taking chances on making new friends.  Childhood trauma, emotional neglect and narcissistic abuse, inhibit our ability to trust others and it also disrupts our ability to trust the self. Making friends is incredibly challenging for adult children of narcissistic and alcoholic parents, because we have been programmed to associate pain, rejection, and abandonment with close relationships. However, it is possible to find your way back to the divine self through inner child recovery work.  If you are interested in working with Lisa one to one or if you would like to begin one of her healing self study courses, visit: https://www.lisaaromano.com/12wbcp  Or reach out at [email protected]
