By Jennie Allen

Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - ECPA CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD FINALIST - The author of Get Out of Your Head provides a revolutionary path to embracing a healthy relationship with your emotions, one that leads to life-giving connection with God and others as well as to a richer understanding of yourself.

"This book is worth thousands of dollars of counseling."--Jonathan Pokluda, bestselling author and host of the Becoming Something podcast

How often have you heard, "Don't let your emotions get the best of you"? But what if instead of ignoring our feelings, we noticed them, named them, and let God use them to draw us closer to Himself and others?

Many of us need to unlearn damaging messages about our emotions. We've been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy, when, in fact, God can use them to help us see where we need His healing.

In Untangle Your Emotions, Jennie Allen uses scientific research, biblical insight, and her own story to help you

● exchange stuffing, dismissing, or minimizing your emotions for a five-step process to know what you feel and what to do about it
● debunk the myth that feelings are sinful by learning how emotional maturity leads to deeper connection with God and others
● live emotionally healthy by applying biblical wisdom and therapeutic research that works whether you self-identify as "emotional" or not
● sit with feelings that are confusing and painful by discovering the depth of God's love and compassion for you

Feelings aren't something to fix; they are something to feel. As we discover how to name and navigate our emotions, we'll learn how they can draw us closer to the God who built us--soul, mind, and heart.

Not remotely useful

The arthur goes on and on about feeling your feelings and about how you need to do all of this stuff but at the same time talks about the only way she got through it was by having a personal therapist. Not everyone has access or the money for a personal christian therapist. At one point in the book she actually says for this next part you'll need your support friends if you haven't got any mark your page in this book and get my other book that tells you how. Sometimes your completely on your own and just trying to do the best you can something this woman knows nothing about. Don't waste your time or money on this I wish I hadn't.
