Loveable: Embracing What Is Truest About You, So You Can Truly Embrace Your Life
“We rarely remember the precious months or years when we experienced our worthiness as a fact. A given. Something as present, real, and natural as breathing and playing and animal crackers.”
IT’S TIME TO REMEMBER.
Dr. Kelly Flanagan is a clinical psychologist and father known to millions for the letters he writes to his children and shares on his blog. LOVEABLE is written to the little one in each of us, who is all too ready to be reminded: you are enough, you are not alone, and you matter.
In LOVEABLE, Dr. Flanagan reveals the core insight gleaned from his years of clinical work: you are here for a reason, yet you cannot truly awaken to it until you have first embraced your truest, worthiest self and then allowed yourself to be truly embraced by others.
Weaving heart-warming storytelling, gentle insights, and the wisdom of Dr. Flanagan’s Christian tradition—including his belief that we are all “the living, breathing bearers of the eternal, transcendent, and limitless Love that spun the planets and hung the stars”—these pages invite you to remember the name you were given before all other names: Loveable.

My Thoughts:
This book is wonderful! I highlighted this book all over the place because it is so good! This book will help you with deep wounds, pain and challenge you to go the hidden places that you've tucked deep in your heart where you don't want to go, but know you need to find freedom. As a social worker who has studied counseling, I felt like the author did a fabulous job of hitting topics in human behavior where anyone who has never studied this area would enjoy. Ultimately, this area will expose the areas in your life where you put up walls and help you knock them down to love people better. I truly enjoyed this book and Highly recommend it. I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. A favorable review was not required.
About the Author:
Kelly graduated with his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Penn State University and is co-founder of Artisan Clinical Associates in Naperville, IL. Several years ago, he discovered writing was the thing he never knew he always wanted to do, so he began the now popular blog, UnTangled, where he writes weekly about how to live redemptive stories right now. Kelly is married to another clinical psychologist named Kelly, because they decided to make life even more complicated than it already is. The Kellies—as they are called by friends and family—have three children, and they have a deal with their kids: they teach the kids how to grow up, and the kids teach them how to grow young again. So far, it’s not clear who is helping who the most.
