In I Shouldn't Feel This Way, licensed therapist and bestselling author Dr. Alison Cook guides you through a groundbreaking 3-step process to find the emotional freedom you've been longing for.

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. You should be a good friend, even though you feel hurt by past betrayals. You should be content, even though you feel lonely or unfulfilled. You should just have faith, even though you 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.

Drawing from over twenty years of research and clinical practice, I Shouldn't Feel This Way 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
• Make decisions that break cycles of defeat

Change starts when you finally stop beating yourself up for the way that you feel and say, You know what? I do feel this way! And I can finally do something about it. I Shouldn't Feel This Way will help you see through the haze of conflicted feelings and move forward in your life with freedom and confidence.

Stock up on Highlighters!

Dr. Alison has done it again! With each book she has written, my response has been - “these truths are profound!” #IShouldntFeelThisWayBook did not disappoint! I like to highlight insights that I want to go back to consider more fully, and when I had finished the last page, the book was almost completely highlighted. I’m looking forward to rereading every word. Dr Alison has a gift of taking profound principles and making them easily understood. I especially love the questions to consider in retraining thoughts and beliefs. So practical. My sister and I plan to go through the book together one chapter per week to slowly digest and discuss its truths.

A Truly Helpful Book!

This book offers very clear, practical steps to engage in a healthier way of thinking and a healthier life! I will read this again and have already recommended it to several people.

A must read for anyone needing help with their shameful emotions. Weight was lifted off my shoulders and my mind feels clearer than it has been in a long time thanks to the practical steps in this book. Highly recommend!

A must read

A book that that only teaches you how to be assertive with yourself and with others, but it also integrates a biblical principles and how to both honor what you’re feeling, and allowing God to enter in and sit along the feelings. He is the ultimate source for peace, strength and comfort.

Outstanding book.

Highly recommended. All of it was incredibly insightful, but I really enjoyed the last chapter where it brought the spiritual into a better light, hopefully for many people.
