Nuance Needed 99: How to Have Healthy Relationships with Nedra Tawwab
In this episode of Nuance Needed, host Amanda White is joined by therapist and bestselling author Nedra Tawwab. In conversation they discuss:
- The gray areas of relationships — where boundaries, connection, and emotional maturity meet.
- Why so many people are feeling lonelier despite having more “mental health language” than ever before.
- How rigid boundaries, misused therapy terms, and avoidance of hard conversations can quietly damage our relationships.
- Friendship expectations, changing seasons of connection, trauma dumping vs. healthy sharing, and why learning to tolerate discomfort is key to deeper, more sustainable relationships.
Nedra Tawwab is a licensed therapist and New York Times bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace and her new book, The Balancing Act. You can find Nedra on social media @nedratawwab.
