What Is Climate-Aware Therapy?
More and more people start to realise that the changing climate poses a risk to humanity and can feel the impacts on their mental health – consciously or sub-consciously. However, there aren’t many places to openly talk about it. While climate emotions should not be pathologised, they can affect all areas of life and might lead to or worsen mental health challenges. Climate-aware therapy offers a non-judgmental space to express the heavy feelings connected to the state of our world. It can help to build psychological resilience, process emotions and eventually transform them into action
Why We Need to Look at the Individual AND Collective Level When It Comes to Mental Health
Talking about mental health challenges is no longer a taboo and many of us have learned about childhood trauma, nervous system regulation and other healing modalities as they become more and more accessible. That’s beautiful because it increases our well-being and can inspire others to do the same.
At the same time, I wonder… Isn’t there something missing? Humanity is at a crossroads and major societal issues can strongly contribute to a person’s emotional distress. However, there are not many places to talk about it.
