Summary

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 honour the person you truly are.

helpful and practical book for families

I loved this book. it was easy to follow and gave lots of clear practical advice for different difficult family situations. I've read lots of books identifying the problems but it is rare to find one with so many potential solutions. This has really helped me.

Excellent guide to dealing with family relationships and asserting your boundaries

This was an excellent audiobook. Advice was practical and examples illustrated how to start making changes in your family. The emphasis is on changing what is in your control and not expecting others to change. I will be referring back to this book in the future.

Nedra never let’s me down…

Sublime as usual, Nedra writes down this family relationship playbook to enlighten us on dysfunctional family’s dynamics. Not only does she speaks about healthy boundaries but she shows through applicable real life cases what to do or not to do to preserve (first) your well being whilst maintaining drama- free relationships with your family, if it’s something you decide to continue pursuing. I loved that she made the difference between family and relatives and that she openly takes off the pressure on maintaining unhealthy dynamics. This is a book I’d recommend to anyone looking to establish more healthy relationships with parents, siblings, extended family, etc.

Touched on many relevant points

As per the title of my review, this touched on many relevant points. I wanted to have some insight into some aspects, which where very useful and I will put into action although had worked some of them out myself. Also very interesting to hear that actually maybe my family isn’t so bad 😀

I cannot express how valuable this book has been to my health and relationships

Very talented coach. Keep getting the 'I wish I had found this 20 yrs ago it would have saved so much suffering ' thought.
