Healing Childhood Trauma Can Fix Your Relationships, Happiness And Physical Health with Nedra Tawwab

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, ARMRA
Colostrum, and Apollo. So many of us struggle with relationships.
In fact, our relationships determine the quality of our life more
than anything else. Unfortunately, the relationships many of us
grew up around–and might consider “normal”--are, in fact,
dysfunctional, creating a negative cycle we often don’t even
realize we’re in.  Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited
to talk to Nedra Tawwab about how to identify dysfunctional
patterns in our relationships and what we can do to break the cycle
and move forward. Nedra Glover Tawwab is the author of the New York
Times bestsellers Drama Free and Set Boundaries, Find Peace. A
licensed therapist and sought-after relationship expert, she has
practiced relationship therapy for more than fifteen years. Nedra
has appeared as an expert on Red Table Talk, The Breakfast Club,
Good Morning America, and CBS Morning Show to name a few. Her work
has been highlighted in The New York Times, The Guardian, and Vice,
and has appeared on numerous podcasts, including The School of
Greatness, We Can Do Hard Things, and Ten Percent Happier. Nedra
runs a popular Instagram account where she shares practices, tools,
and reflections for mental health and relationships.  This
