Description

I'm not angry. I'm just mad.Look around, and you'll see anger at work. It's in news reports, on social media, and in homes and offices. It shows up in our lives as frustration, irritation, and jealousy. Anger sounds like defensive or sarcastic remarks made in response to criticism. Sometimes, anger is hard to spot because it causes people to distance themselves and avoid the world-or maybe just one person in particular.Anger is everywhere, and the result is emotional disconnection. The problem is that humans have an innate need for emotional connection. Without it, anxiousness, loneliness, fear, hurt, and anger run rampant.In You Are Here, Bryan and Susan Duncan explain that anger is a reaction, not a feeling, and it stems from the inability to identify and share true emotion. While it's true that everyone feels, most people don't have the words to understand and accurately express their feelings. Without the right language, misunderstandings, conflict, and isolation grow.Drawing on decades of professional experience counseling thousands of clients of all ages and from all walks of life, the authors developed the Feeling Grid. In You Are Here, they share this powerful, easy-to-use tool to help you learn the language of emotion so you can understand what's going on behind the anger.Use the Feeling Grid and You Are Here to . . .
  • find the words to identify your feelings and what to do with them,
  • learn how to use your emotions in a healthy way,
  • understand how to recognize and respond to what others are feeling,
  • improve your relationships by healing and preventing the disconnection created by anger reactions,
  • discover more moments of joy,
  • and experience more peace and a greater sense of empowerment in your day-to-day life at work and at home.

Decrease anger, increase emotional connection, and finally understand yourself.

Critical Reviews

"In You Are Here, I learned why having the aptitude to understand and express emotions is so important to our wellbeing and necessary for emotional intimacy with others. The Feeling Grid is a tool I still keep visible on my refrigerator door and refer to often. I especially appreciate the book's reassurance that no feelings are bad; in fact, sometimes the most painful emotions lead us to find the help we desperately need. I am personally grateful to the Duncans for their work and their desire to help us all find the words and the courage to express the emotions God created us to feel."

-Kelly Davidson, pastoral care minister, A&M Church of Christ

"Bryan and Susan Duncan skillfully guide readers through the process of better defining inner emotional experiences by exploring the ways in which emotions are expressed. I appreciated the definitions of each feeling at the end of each primary emotion chapter. You Are Here provides a strong foundation for helping you and your clients identify what they are experiencing emotionally. During a time when people seem more disconnected than ever, I recommend this book for anyone who struggles to pinpoint how they are feeling."

-Kimberlee DeRushia, PsyD, licensed clinical psychologist

"In You are Here, Bryan and Susan Duncan created a valuable resource for anyone seeking to grow in their emotional intelligence. This book does an excellent job of explaining how emotions serve us and how to better understand their impact on our lives and relationships. The definitions and examples of emotions at the end of each chapter are also especially helpful. I suggest using them along with the Feeling Grid. Additionally, there is so much hope and wisdom in the chapter on Joy! The goal of therapy (self or guided) is moving to the right side of the Feeling Grid! We all desire to be joyful, empowered, and peaceful. You Are Here and the Feeling Grid are resources that I look forward to using at my therapy practice and sharing with my colleagues and clients."

-Rev. Dr. Eric J. Liles, Episcopal priest, licensed professional counselor

"The theory of emotion that Drs. Susan and Bryan Duncan developed and continue to use in their practice with the Feeling Grid, gave me back my life. I know that this book and the understanding it offers can do the same for others from all walks of life and with all kinds of struggles. My hope is that PTSD sufferers, especially those in law enforcement, will use this book and the Feeling Grid to experience the same freedom I have found."

-Donnie R. Marshall, Administrator (Retired), US Drug Enforcement Administration

"Dr. Bryan Duncan's counsel and relying upon the Feeling Grid were instrumental in my ability to cope with a very difficult situation. Digging into a real understanding of what was driving my feelings changed how I coped and communicated. You Are Here is a fascinating, quick read that will impact your life for the better."

-Kathy M., former client
