Boundaries for Your Soul
This popular message is based on Alison’s new book, Boundaries for Your Soul. Everyone needs to be able to set healthy boundaries with others. But, when many people try, they can feel guilty in the process. In this presentation, Alison reveals how listeners can:
- Transform challenging thoughts and feelings into allies
- Resolve disagreements with others, successfully navigating emotional conflict
- Discern God’s loving guidance during life’s inevitable trials and challenges
She’s Better Than Me
Many people wrestle with feelings of envy, inferiority, or comparing themselves to others. It’s easy to fall into the trap of lamenting inside, “She’s better than me.” In this perspective-shifting message, Alison explains how no one can take your place in this world. Every woman was given a unique journey to walk that is incomparable. Listeners will learn how to:
- Turn off the internal negative voice and transform the inner critic to an inner encourager
- Forge healthy relationships with safe individuals
- Develop confidence from the inside out
Becoming Whole Emotionally and Spiritually
Many of us carry anger, grief, turmoil, and self-criticism internally, while working overtime to keep it all together as we go about our day-to-day lives. As Christians, we hope to exemplify wholeness, but don’t always know how to bring every part of ourselves into the light of Christ. In this experiential workshop, Alison will show you what to do when you feel overwhelmed and how to welcome God to be with even the most challenging parts of your soul. Listeners will learn how to
- Identify when your soul is in need of care
- Care for your soul in partnership with God
- Incorporate care of your emotions into your spiritual practices
"Alison’s ability to cut through the noise and focus in on the root of a problem is impressive. When working with women and groups, she is caring and also focused. She is relatable and accessible, yet she also knows how to deliver practical solutions. She provides tremendous insight into both your psychological functioning as well as how to weave God into your journey toward growth and healing.”

“Alison is my counselor of choice, both for when I need insight into my own soul wounds, as well as for the man or woman who asks me, ‘Is there a counselor you could point me to?’ Alison has led workshops on the inner life at our regional student conferences. At our most recent gathering, she drew the largest crowd and over a third of the conferees voluntarily chose to attend her session on Emotional Wholeness. I don't know anyone who has thought more carefully about the transformation of the soul than Alison Cook."
