From the bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace, a relatable guide to understanding codependency, enmeshment, and what it means to get our needs met for real

Every relationship is a balancing act. If we give too much, we lose ourselves. If we hold back too much, we become isolated and unable to get our needs met. Achieving the right balance is how we find connection, authenticity, and joy.

With her signature blend of clarity and compassion, therapist Nedra Glover Tawwab offers a roadmap for finding this balance, demystifying:

  • the difference between setting boundaries and putting up walls
  • avoidant and anxious attachment styles
  • hyper-independence and the myth of the self-made individual
  • using parts work and other therapy tools to explore the facets of who you are
  • the importance of community, loose social connections, and a diversified circle of friends.

Discover new ways to identify your needs, navigate conflict, and find more harmony and trust with your spouse or partner, close friends, family members, and the other important people in your life.
