I have been friends with Alison Cook online for quite some time and have always wanted to talk with her about how she integrates faith and psychology, so when she said yes to coming on, I was ecstatic. This discussion is so important, especially because of how things are in the world today. We talk about everything from her sudden stroke to how healing from trauma can help us to become the best versions of who God created us to be! Get ready to take lots of notes and to preorder this book!

Dr. Alison Cook is a psychologist and writer who empowers women to heal from past wounds, develop a strong sense of self, forge healthy relationships with others, and experience a loving God who is for them. Her weekly email reaches more than 50,000 people each week. She specializes in bringing faith and psychology together to create real change in people's lives.
Prior to her work in counseling, Alison was a congressional aide on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and taught at Phillips Exeter Academy, Denver Seminary, and the Wyoming State Girls’ School for adjudicated teens. Some of Alison’s most valuable life lessons were discovered while stage acting as a hobby.
Originally from Wyoming, Alison studied at Dartmouth College (BA), Denver Seminary (MA), and the University of Denver (PhD), where she specialized in integrating psychology and theology. Alison’s doctoral dissertation centered on the relationship between religion and prejudice. She is certified in Internal Family Systems Therapy.
