Oversimplified

His summary of the human experience is oversimplified and binary leaving very little room for nuance and holding tension of thoughts and feelings.

Very Helpgul

This book puts words to our emotions. Helped me understand how damaged emotions were destroying my life. Chip Dodd then explains how our emotions, when properly understood, empower us to live the life we were designed to live.

Like someone condensed years of counseling into one book

I ended up getting this audiobook after I attended a small event at which one of the authors spoke. It was quite eye-opening, and when couple with the book it was a powerful tool and antidote.

This book is literally like someone condensed years of counseling into one book, and cut through all of the wasted time and energy that people go through trying to figure out why they are the way they are, and how to become the way the were made to be. That’s not to say that there aren’t great counselors and helpers out there who are doing great work, nor do I want to fail to consider the impact that the willingness of the client makes, or lack thereof. I do, however, wish to emphasize how helpful the framework is in this book. The authors take into account the many factors that go into making people the way they are, including the Christian concepts of sin and the fallenness of the Genesis 3 world. Personally, the concepts within The Voice of the Heart helped me to realize some things about myself, my family of origin, and the ways in which I fail to acknowledge and respond to my various feelings, and how those failures have guided me to places and sins that I resented by didn’t understand how to fully overcome. Yes, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the solution, and I would never argue against that. The way that things presented here doesn’t contradict or try to minimize the power of the gospel to change hearts, though. Instead, it reveals how our need for redemption, and our access to it through Jesus Christ, now opens up the ability to see our broken and sinful hearts for what they truly are, speak truthfully about our condition, and begin the sanctifying process of ongoing repentance; we no longer have to be slaves to our old ways of doing life. As we discover the places where we are still holding onto our old self, we can step into the light and out of that old darkness. It’s a beautiful thing to grasp and to begin to walk fervently toward, more and more, each day!

I highly recommend this book, and I’ll be revisiting it, often.

Freeing & a Work to Heal

My counselor suggested this book to me because I like to stuff and hide my feelings to protect myself from others’ judgement. This book is necessary and so helpful. The author reads it like he is speaking as a caring mentor. It is just healing if you are looking to open up your eyes to your heart.

Questions answered

This book has answered so many questions. I ended up ordering the paper back book and working through the the free guide from Chip Dodds website. I don’t regret having the audio version as a companion bc it reinforces what I’ve read.

This book has been transformative

I’ve been going through this book with my counselor. I can’t stress how much more helpful it is to interact with this book and the questions with someone else.

The audiobook is nice to be able to refresh my memory and I appreciate being able to hear the book from the author’s own voice. That being said, I’ve found the physical copy more helpful.

Feel your feelings
Speak your truth
Find full living

Those three phrases sum up the book. It is written from a perspective that we are made in the image of God and that the 8 emotions can lead to either impairment OR blessing.

It has fundamentally shifted the way that I think about emotions (mine and others) and how learning to be mindful of my emotions can stop the destruction to relationships that I have suffered and inflicted on others over the years.
