175 Tending to the Wounded Places Within with Dr. Alison Cook

Adam sits down with therapist and author Dr. Alison Cook to talk about her new book, The Secure Soul, and the deeply personal ache of disconnection that shaped it. Alison shares how her own nervous system had to be shaped by human love before she could feel God's love, and opens up about a painful memory from age fifteen that she carried in secret for years. Together they explore what it looks like to tend to the "shadow" parts of ourselves with curiosity instead of shame, and how healing comes not from fixing or willpower but from steady, repeated presence—with ourselves, with others, and with God. It's a warm, honest conversation about longing, inner repair, and why needing help was never a weakness to overcome.
