Impact Theory
About this episode

The number of us who have been in (or are possibly still in) relationships where you don’t even recognize that you’re being manipulated is astounding. Unhealthy relationships have a way of starting off “normal.” You go from being showered with gifts and attention everyday to barely feeling seen or heard at all sometimes without even noticing.

Nedra Glover Tawwab is practically a queen of boundaries She’s a therapist, relationship expert and the author of, "Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself". She’s been a guest on Women of Impact multiple times, sharing practical tips and solutions for setting boundaries, being assertive and learning how to recognize when you are in an unhealthy relationship and being gaslit.

If you’ve been questioning your sanity after every argument, if you find yourself apologizing to your partner or people you have a relationship with even when you know you’re not to blame, it’s time to put an end to these unhealthy behaviors, set boundaries and find strength in you peace of mind.
