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 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?

A Detroit native, Tawwab obtained both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Wayne State University. She is the author of bestsellers Drama Free and Set Boundaries, Find Peace, a relationships expert, and an advocate for the power of setting boundaries. Her work has been highlighted in the New York Times, The Guardian, and Vice, and on podcasts, including The School of Greatness, We Can Do Hard Things, and Ten Percent Happier.
