Healing and Recovering from Co-dependency, Addiction, Enabling, and Low Self-Esteem 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 readers from all walks of life, and which offers hope to anyone who has felt imprisoned by the past.

""This story is about healing the faulty programming of childhood. It is about recovery from relationship addiction, food addiction, anxiety, and constant fear" This is a very misleading book description.
I very much enjoy Romano in her youtube videos and was hoping this book would be split between her own expereinces, but then offer more in the way of tools towards recovery. This is pretty much just reading her life story. Of course it's touching at times, and I absolutely cried at similarities with my own experiences or at what she had to endure. But don't purchase this book if your looking for anything other than her story.

The book is padded by about 40 blank pages."

The Road Back to Me Healing and Recovering From Codependency Addiction Enabling and Low Self Esteem Lisa A Romano 9780578102689 Books Reviews

• When I started reading this book, at times I felt like I was reading my own story—not necessarily the circumstances or events but the feelings the author was communicating. I also grew up in a home where I was not allowed to be myself. I was compared to others, my opinions were mocked, I couldn’t just be myself. I did not feel loved, accepted, or valued by my parents. Her depiction of her marriage mirrored mine (our husbands could be twins), and I could identify with everything she expressed with regard to that relationship.
  
  However, I was shocked and surprised when the book ended abruptly. I was expecting it to offer more strategies, advice, or even personal testimony on how to overcome codependency. There was none of that—just a nod to her counselor Ed and author Melody Beattie (Codependent No More). I was disappointed that she essentially brought us to her place of healing, growth, and recovery but did not describe how that happened for her.
• I have read a lot of self help books over the years.I could not put this one down. I don't remember the last time I read a book so fast. It was as though the author was describing my childhood and my feelings better than I ever could. Reading this book and having my feelings validated gave me so much strength and made me lighter. I have also found the author's you tube videos very helpful.
  Since reading this book I have contacted the author . She is an amazing life coach and has made a big difference in my life.
  She is simply amazing !
• They say you have to hit rock bottom before you admit you have a problem.I was searching for an explanation for my empty feelings and failed relationships. Lisa bares her soul to help us understand why we hurt so much. I couldn't put the book down. I appreciate her candor and desire to help wounded spirits. Watch her amazing videos on You Tube. Lisa A Romano is a lifesaver!

• The Road Back to Me really brought me back to my childhood. Something necessary for healing childhood wounds as an adult. It triggered memories that I had long forgotten. For example, I was able to recall my relationship with neighborhood friends, what I did for fun as a child, how I felt as a child, how I felt in school when so and so did this.... how it felt to live in my childhood home with my family. And this book brought me back to get in touch with "feelings" in order to help me recover more of my innocent child self... My true essence.
  
  It's amazing how this book could take you back to relating with your parents, friends, classmates, and teachers. I really appreciated how The Road Back to Me brought back memories of things I loved to do but forgot as I grew up into an adult with tons of responsibilities. It gave me closure as well. I did the best I could, my parents did the best they could. Seeing Lisa overcome her struggles provides hope to those who may be stuck in unhealthy patterns. This book is essential to healing childhood wounds! Yes, it was a soulful journey reading The Road Back to Me.
  
  After reading this book, I contacted Lisa A Romano to be my coach. I have grown leaps and bounds in my relationship so fast. I didn't know I had choices. Growing up as an Acoa, I didn't have a voice. Reading Road Back to Me helped me remember the way I was treated. It gave me awareness into why I give so much to others and give to myself last... I always had to take care of everyone else so I would be safe. I was able to bring up old feelings and release them so I could heal. I recommend this book for anyone who is struggling in their adult life to please others. Now I'm choosing my own road.
• This book is the reason that I am alive today. My whole life, I felt like I was never good enough for anybody. I felt like I was so alone, that I would be better off dead. This book got me to see that what I experienced when I was little, when I was a teenageer, and what I have been experiencing now as a young adult was valid. I am not alone in this. Thank you for writting this book Lisa A Romano. Thank you for revealing your wounds to the world. Thank you for being a light and not being afraid to rock the boat because God only knows how hard that must have been. I will always be a fan of your work, and you have my support.

• I can’t say enough good things about Lisa A. Romano’s work. I seldom write reviews but I must say, the revelations I found in Road Back to Me, granted not only a letter to the author but and review. If you have struggled with codependency feelings of unworthiness or feeling invisible, I highly recommend this book. The Road back to me is Lisa Story, it is not a how-to manual. I read it after watching her amazing video blog on Youtube (highly recommend it). I sobbed reading parts of Lisa’s story, as she captures so well the feelings of powerlessness that we experience as children, when our well-meaning but imperfect parents try to teach us how to live. This is not about victim-hood or blame, but about learning to honor our own experience as human beings. In a world that tries to convince us that our feelings aren’t real; Lisa shines a bright light on our right to be seen, heard and recognized as the divine and precious creatures we are. Thank Lisa, you have changed my life.
