Publisher Description
Instant New York Times Bestseller
From the bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace, a road map for understanding and moving past family struggles—and living your life, your way.
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 this empowering guide, licensed therapist and bestselling relationship expert Nedra Glover Tawwab offers clear advice for identifying dysfunctional family patterns and choosing the best path to breaking the cycle and moving forward.
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, and more, this clear and compassionate guide will help you take control of your own life—and honor the person you truly are.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We felt transformed by this powerful, enlightening guide to overcoming family trauma. Therapist and relationship expert Nedra Glover Tawwab (author of the buzzy bestseller Set Boundaries, Find Peace) has created a vital manual for healing, focusing not only on how to recognize abusive patterns you grew up with but also on real-life ways to keep from perpetuating them yourself. We felt empowered by Tawwab’s straightforward approach to confronting your own insecurities about parenting, which acknowledges that “you can’t give what you didn’t get.” Crucially, she also lays out empowering advice for parents who experienced childhood abuse and neglect and want to break the cycle of generational trauma, such as the importance of never shaming your children. Along with the practical advice, Drama Free also offers engaging journal prompts and other ways to build up personal confidence while moving past abuse. As Tawwab reminds us, we need to take care of ourselves before we can take care of others.
