Before Love: Healing the Hurt Caused by Parental Absence and Emotional Unavailability

By Lisa Romero

If you grew up with emotionally unavailable, immature, or absent parents, this book is for you. In Before Love, I share my own journey of surviving shame, silence, anxiety, and deep loyalty guilt, and how I began healing the emotional wounds I carried into adulthood. This book is a compassionate guide for anyone who has become the caretaker, the strong one, or the peacemaker. Yet still feels disconnected, anxious, or lost in love and relationships. Inside, you'll uncover how early wounds impact self-worth, decision making, boundaries, and intimacy. You'll learn how to reparent your inner child, release guilt and shame, and build healthier relationships with yourself and others. If you're ready to stop shrinking, start feeling, and finally come home to yourself, your journey begins here. Because healing isn't just emotional-it's physical too. That's why I also include tips on sleep, nutrition, and movement to support your full well-being.
