Drama Free: A Guide to Managing Unhealthy Family Relationships by Nedra Glover Tawwab
Join us for an engaging and informative discussion with our panel of local experts.
From the bestselling author Nedra Glover Tawwab, 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.
Check the Grosse Pointe Public Library or Harper Woods Public Library catalogs for copies of the book. Books can also be borrowed from The Family Center, just ask to borrow a copy when you register.
