Nedra Glover Tawwab, MSW, LCSW, is a New York Times best-selling author, licensed therapist, and sought-after relationship expert. She has practiced relationship therapy for 15 years. Her new book, Drama Free: A Guide to Managing Unhealthy Family Relationships, is out now.
What you'll learn from this episode:
How to live a drama-free life by making healthier choices and taking ownership over the way you show up, respond, react, and manage your expectations of others.
All about boundaries, how they help your relationships become clearer, and why it’s important to communicate your needs, wants, and expectations.
Why it’s important to release resentment, and questions to ask yourself to determine if you should have a conversation with a person who has harmed you or work it out another way.
Why cycle breakers (people who have broken free from an unhealthy pattern) may need to physically distance themselves from their dysfunctional families (but, after healing, may be able to set boundaries and resume a relationship with some family members).
Why you can’t force anyone to change, even if they are engaging in behaviors that could lead to an early death—and how you can actually support them by listening with compassion, asking questions, and letting them formulate their own ideas.
And so much more!
