Description
You can find emotional freedom. Learn to see through the haze of conflicted feelings and move forward in your life with confidence. Licensed therapist and bestselling author Dr. Alison Cook guides you through a groundbreaking 3-step process to find the freedom you crave.
When you're tangled up inside, it's hard to find clarity. Yet so many of us guilt-trip or gaslight ourselves instead of working our way through complicated feelings….
- I should be a good friend, even though I feel hurt by past betrayals.
- I should be content, even though I feel lonely or unfulfilled.
- I should just have faith, even though I feel discouraged by unanswered prayers.
This jumbled-up knot is a cry for gentle care and patient attention, but most of us haven't been given the tools required to unravel it.
I Shouldn't Feel This Way is your guide out of the chaos and into the calm and clarity you need to face life's challenges. Drawing from over twenty years of research and clinical practice, Dr. Alison Cook guides you through a groundbreaking 3-step process that has helped tens of thousands of people find emotional freedom and surprisingly simple breakthroughs. Dr. Alison shows you how to:
- identify guilt and know what to do with it,
- trade feeling stuck in your head for clarity,
- move from comfortable numbing to courageous conversations, and
- make decisions that break cycles of defeat.
Change starts when you finally stop beating yourself up for the way that you feel. I Shouldn't Feel This Way is your pathway to emotional freedom. It is time to finally work through your complicated feelings so you can start living with the clarity and confidence you crave.

I am such a fan of the authors writing and was so excited to get my hands on an ARC of her newest upcoming release. This book did not disappoint. I highlighted/underlined so much of the book. My favorite chapters were the ones about defensiveness, and body image. Dr. Cook helps readers to acknowledge the emotions that they are feeling and get curious about them- instead of feeling shame about them. She walks through the process of Naming whats hard, framing your reality, and braving a new path.
"The simple act of stopping to notice what you're thinking and feeling- without criticism, judgement, or shame- brings calm to the chaos inside." This is exactly what Alison helps the readers to do. I love how she mixed different talk therapy techniques, with stories of clients that she worked with, with application questions for your own life.
This book is set to release 5/7/24 and I will for sure be buying a hard copy and a few copies for friends. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC. Cant wait for this one to be released and in the hands of many many people!

This is a must-have resource to help one improve mental health, resiliency, and live a more full and happy life. It is full of great strategies, advice, and easy to implement ideas. This is one I'll return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

This is the book on emotions that the world needs. So many important topics are covered with realistic ways to calm your soul. One read through is not enough to truly grasp all the concepts. I do feel like there’s almost too much in this book, but really well thought out both from a psychology standpoint and biblical standpoint.
Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!
