I Shouldn’t Feel This Way: How to Name Hard Feelings & Take Brave Action with Dr. Alison Cook

Do you ever catch yourself dismissing your feelings or letting your inner critic boss your emotions around? 

‘I should be happier…’

‘I just need to think more positively…’

‘I shouldn’t feel this way…’

Join Mary and Dr. Alison Cook, therapist, author, and podcaster, as they discuss the science behind our shame spiral, the gift of liminal space, and the three-step framework that will transform your mental and emotional health.

Tune in to hear, 

• The science behind our shame spiral
• Why your inner critic is sabotaging your growth
• How to make decisions that break cycles of defeat

 

If you are tired of trudging through life with unresolved emotions and the guilt that you should be responding differently to what you are going through, this conversation will set you on a new trajectory. 

Say goodbye to staying stuck in the endless cycle of self-sabotage and hello to clear-minded and brave action toward the life you dream of. 

Just remember friend, the only way forward is through.
