Summary

The New York Times bestselling 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。

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。

In all honesty, this book wasn't at all what I was expecting。 At times I felt as though she was giving us cliff notes from her therapy sessions or what what she learned in in the first weeks of Psych 101。 Her personal stories were borderline whiney and gossipy。 I had to skim many of the stories because it was too much。 This book also felt as though I was reading a Brene Brown book, rather than a book from a Christian author。The author continuously mentions, "Before we dive into the process。" ove In all honesty, this book wasn't at all what I was expecting。 At times I felt as though she was giving us cliff notes from her therapy sessions or what what she learned in in the first weeks of Psych 101。 Her personal stories were borderline whiney and gossipy。 I had to skim many of the stories because it was too much。 This book also felt as though I was reading a Brene Brown book, rather than a book from a Christian author。The author continuously mentions, "Before we dive into the process。" over and over。 One would think that due to this build up of the "process" (which isn't revealed till around page 101) that it would be some amazing tool to include in our daily lives but unfortunately, that was not the case。 As far as the Christian aspect, she at times makes it seem as though she is just like God, that she should take on the same characteristics as Our Lord and Savior。 Just because God felt and experienced things doesn't at all mean that we need to place ourselves right there next to Him on HIS throne。 He's God and we are His children。 Period。 Lastly, I wish she would have just turned to God in her moments of trouble instead of placing Dr。 C upon the throne。 At times her worship of this doctor was a bit unsettling。 Thank you Netgalley for allowing me the opportunity to read this book。 。。。more

Classic Jennie Allen book! I love reading her advice and stories。 They are always heartfelt and brave。 This was no exception。 I found it to be a quick and fast-paced book。 Emotions are unraveling in my own life and this book helped me to make sense of them, Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC。 Five stars。
