Episode 120: What to Do with Those Overwhelming Thoughts with Alison Cook

This is the therapy sesh we all need right now. 

Counselor, author, and teacher, Dr. Alison Cook, co-author of Boundaries for Your Soul has a word for us about what to do with our overwhelming thoughts and emotions. (Anyone got some of those these days?)

But, what can we do with them? We can turn them into our allies.

"Emotions are not your enemy, they are queues," she said. "Learn about them, pay attention to them, don’t let them rule you, but get to know them. Let them be an aid to you  on your journey to wholeness." 

How do we do that? Alison does a beautiful job of helping us take not just the next right step, but a few down the road to peace.
