Dr. Lemon recently wrote the foreword and contributed a chapter to the book “Men and Emotions…It’s a Thing” written by Laura Jones Swann, MEd, LCDC and copyrighted in 2023. The following is a quote from his foreword:
“Having had the privilege of working with many men over many years, I am optimistic. I’ve seen men awaken emotionally and embrace feeling less inhibited and more present, confident, and alive. They often have a much clearer sense of what they want in their closest relationships and how they can get it. Many men no longer feel that building close relationships only comes naturally to women. More generally, through reconstructing the way they relate to themselves emotionally, they define and pursue their life ambitions with more clarity and purpose and they are less driven to merely avoid shame and self-judgment. In short, they are better acquainted with their own hearts.”
