“Whether you are a feeler or you’ve disassociated from your feelings, numbed out, and don’t know what you feel, I wrote this book for all of us,” says Allen. “Our emotions are trying to tell us something. More than just a race of adrenaline, they’re pointing the way for us to connect more deeply with ourselves, others, and God than we thought possible.”

Allen’s mega bestseller Get Out Of Your Head (1 million+ copies sold/36 weeks NYT List) equipped readers with tools for taking control of spiraling thoughts. Untangle Your Emotions complements those lessons by teaching us that we cannot control such thoughts without understanding the feelings that they stem from, helping us change our mindset from “fix it” to “feel it.”

Allen writes about the spiritual and scientific benefits of embracing our feelings and sharing them with others, and offers a tangible five-step guide to begin the process.

Allen will touch on these topics and more at the 10th annual IF:Gathering conference, taking place in Fort Worth, TX on Fri., Feb. 23 and Sat., Feb. 24. The conference will be attended by thousands in-person and hundreds of thousands more via livestream. See more on the conference, here: ifgathering.com/if2024

Praise for Untangle Your Emotions:

“For anyone who has been taught anything unhelpful or even harmful when it comes to feeling your feelings, this book is your space to heal. My friend Jennie will help you stop simply existing and start really living as you learn how your emotions can help you reconnect with your creator and yourself.”

“Notice. Name. Feel. Share. Choose. You’ll carry this simple framework with you for the rest of your life. Jennie Allen’s ability to integrate the best learnings of psychology with the beautiful vision of Christian spirituality enables us to go far beyond ‘feeling our feelings.’ You’ll learn how our feelings were designed for connection—with God, others, and our own soul—the very connections we all crave. It’s time to stop running away; the emotions we fear are the pathway to the healthy soul we all desire.” 

— John Mark Comer

New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way

“We humans are emotion-regulation creatures. For indeed, emotion is the fuel in the tank that enables us to do anything we do. Our trouble, of course, is that we are unfamiliar with our emotions and their God-inspired purposes and functions, and thereby suffer in innumerable ways. Into this trouble Jennie Allen wades with vulnerability, warmth, and practical wisdom. With Untangle Your Emotions, she offers us a trustworthy road map that will enable us to more truly partner with God as He forms us into the people of beauty and goodness that He longs for us to become.”
