Emotional Confidence - by Alicia Acc Michelle (Hardcover)

Alicia does a great job with teaching a practical approach to dealing with your emotions. It helps you to understand your emotions and how to manage them more effectively by with scripture.

Emotional Confidence hit the ball out of the park! Not only did Alicia Michelle talk about emotions, but she connected them to brain science, and to biblical principles. That's just a triple. But to bring it home, she introduces the concept of ADD -- what a way to help deal with your emotions. This practical strategy is now my go-to when trying to manage my emotions, all while understanding why they happen and keeping in mind God's truths.

Emotions can definitely get the best of me sometimes, especially because I'm a control freak and a preventer, but entering the chapter of being an empty nester has really caused my emotions to spike lately. Alica's book blessed me MIGHTILY on a night when my college freshman son called me to report that he was close to failing one of his classes. In particular, her 16 science and faith based suggestions for ways to calm down were REALLY effective and I have thought about those techniques several times since that crisis. This book will make a difference in the quality of your emotional life which will then bless your relationships with loved ones as well.

This book was a delightful surprise. It seems this would be either a fluffy topic or too deep to enjoy, but, carefully, Alicia explains how important our emotions are, and highlights a healthy perspective on assessing and enjoying our own emotional well-being. Through sharing real life scenarios, some from personal experience and some from the stories of others, she gracefully explores the roles our emotions play in everyday life, and gives practical strategies on how to have confidence as we navigate all of life's ups and downs. . She leaves the reader with very actionable steps on handling emotions, particularly if the struggle is with those trickier emotions such as worry, shame, discontentment or fear. The end of each chapter has thoughtful questions for consideration and free tools and resources for a deeper dive. This is a book could certainly be used as a workbook for personal growth, or even a fabulous resource in understanding others.

In my role as a Christian counselor, I often encounter individuals unfamiliar with effective emotional regulation. Emotional Confidence offers an accessible and engaging approach, encouraging recognition and exploration of emotions in accordance with God's intent. This methodology is clear, teachable, and transformative, providing a valuable tool for developing emotional maturity and confidence. Must Read
