Use the Wisdom and Power of Your Emotions to Get the Life You Really Want

In LIVING LIKE YOU MEAN IT, author Ronald J. Frederick, does a
brilliant job of describing why people are so afraid of their
emotions and how this fear creates a variety of problems in their
lives. While the problems are different, the underlying issue is
often the same. At the core of their distress is what Dr. Frederick
refers to as feelings phobia. Whether it s the experience of love,
joy, anger, sadness, or surprise, our inborn ability to be a fully
feeling person has been hijacked by fear--and it s fear that s
keeping us from a better life.

The book begins with a questionnaire-style list that help
readers take an honest look at themselves and recognize whether and
how they are afraid of their feelings. It then moves on to explore
the origins of fear of feeling and introduces a four-part program
for overcoming the fear: (1) Become aware of and learn to recognize
feelings--anger, sadness, joy, love, fear, guilt/shame, surprise,
disgust. (2) Master techniques for taming the fear. (3) Let the
feeling work its way all the way through to its resolution. (4)
Open up and put those feelings into words and communicate them
confidently. With wisdom, humor, and compassion, the book uses
stories and examples to help readers see that overcoming feelings
phobia is the key to a better life and more fulfilling
relationships.
