Why do we cling to people who hurt us? Why does the fear of abandonment feel so unbearable? In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, expert in trauma recovery and codependency healing, unpacks the powerful link between attachment theory and codependency.

From early childhood dynamics to the subconscious fears that drive our adult relationships, Lisa breaks down how insecure attachment styles—like anxious or avoidant—set the stage for emotional dependency, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment.

If you've ever felt like you're addicted to love, overly responsible for others, or terrified of being alone, this episode will help you trace those patterns back to their origin—so you can begin to heal them.

In this episode, you'll learn: What attachment theory is—and how it relates to codependency How unmet childhood needs create fear-based attachment styles Why codependents often attract emotionally unavailable partners How anxious attachment leads to over-functioning in relationships Steps to begin forming healthier, more secure connections

This episode is for you if you: ✔️ Fear abandonment or rejection in relationships ✔️ Struggle to speak your truth or set healthy boundaries ✔️ Feel responsible for other people’s emotions ✔️ Tend to give more than you receive in friendships or love
