About the Book: Every family has a story. For some of us, our family of origin is a solid foundation that feeds our confidence and helps us navigate life’s challenges. For others, it’s a source of pain, hurt, and conflict that can feel like a lifelong burden. In Drama Free: A Guide to Managing Unhealthy Family Relationships, licensed therapist and bestselling relationship expert Nedra Glover Tawwab, MSW, LCSW offers clear advice for identifying dysfunctional family patterns and choosing the best path to breaking the cycle and moving forward.
Tawwab offers practical tips for common issues and succinctly breaks down complex issues, helping readers answer two essential questions: How can I successfully have relationships with members of my family when there’s an underlying issue? And how can I disconnect from family members when I no longer wish to maintain the relationship? Covering topics ranging from the trauma of emotional neglect to the legacy of addicted or absent parents, to mental health struggles in siblings and other relatives, Tawwab delves into topics ranging from unlearning dysfunction to managing or ending relationships when people won’t change.
