Every family has a story. For some of us, our family is a cohesive foundation that nurtures our self-confidence and helps us manage life's challenges. For others, it is a source of pain, wounds, and tensions and may be felt as a long-term burden.

In this empowerment guide, distinguished therapist and relationship counselor Nedra Glover Tawwab offers us simple advice on identifying dysfunctional family patterns and choosing the best way to break free from them and move forward in our lives.

In this book, the author explores topics such as trauma and emotional neglect, the legacy of addicted or absent parents, mental health issues among siblings and other relatives, and much more. This simple and compassionate guide will help you take control of your life - and honor the person you truly are.
