About this listen

Have you ever had a thought or feeling, and then you beat yourself up and say, "I shouldn't feel this way?" If so, join me for this incredible conversation with Dr. Alison Cook, a therapist specializing in the integration of faith and psychology, to discuss her latest book, I Shouldn't Feel This Way. We explore common feelings of guilt and self-blame, emphasizing the importance of 'thought biopsies' and self-reflection to better understand and manage emotions. Dr. Cook outlines her three-step process of naming, framing, and braving emotions, and shares insights on dealing with self-sabotage, relational boundaries, and the significance of embracing every step of the healing journey.
