With 35 years of experience as a therapist and educator\, Laura has dedicated her career to breaking down barriers and fostering healthy emotional development. She is the author of the recently published book\, Men and Emotions . . . Its a Thing\, which explores the challenges men face in understanding and expressing their emotions. Lauras innovative approach combines research-based strategies with compassionate insight\, making her a leading voice in this transformative area of mental health. \nSeveral key themes in Lauras work are illustrated by the following content taken from her book as well as several reflections that are from a few of the men that are featured in her book: \nA key to understanding emotions is to learn how to lean into them without getting swallowed up by them. \nIts so weird when people think men dont have feelings. Like . . . have you ever listened to music written by men? Clearly men have A LOT of emotions. Social media post \nI think about the very strong conservative culture that I grew up in that taught that men detach from their emotions. Then I think about how grateful I am for the progress I have made to leave that mindset and now more often acknowledge\, accept\, and appreciate my emotions and what they can teach me about myself and the way I relate to the world around me. anonymous \nAt 32 years old\, I am beginning to understand that my feelings are not something to be ignored but rather a source of insight into my inner workings. In the past they were (and still are at times) disregarded and unimportant to me. If I didnt care about something I couldnt be disappointed by the result. Forcing this detachment from my emotions produced a person who on the surface was mild\, calm\, and collected\, but under the surface I was a trembling mess of anxiety and fear.
