Meet Linda Aspey, a prolific voice in the realm of climate psychology, who's using her own experience with eco-anxiety to drive crucial discussions around climate change. Stirred by an overwhelming sense of concern and despair over the state of our planet, Linda has become an influential figure in raising awareness about the psychological impacts of climate change. Join Linda and leading trauma psychologist Susan Pease Banitt as they unpac the socially constructed silence surrounding this issue and underscore the significance of confronting and processing eco-anxiety as a catalyst for a more sustainable future.
In the throes of the pandemic, the younger generation’s fears over climate change have only intensified, creating a potent cocktail of helplessness and anxiety. We dig into this crisis, examining the role media plays in shaping public perception and governmental policies, and the glaring omission of climate change issues within the therapy profession.
Linda offers valuable insights on utilizing privilege and guilt as agents for positive change and provides practical steps towards building a more equitable and sustainable world.
Tune in for a profound conversation that not only sheds light on the psychological implications of climate change but also inspires us to break the silence and take action.
