Description

Last summer was this country’s hottest on record. Worldwide, all living creatures suffered through excessive droughts, heatwaves, and a wildfire season that only halfway through the calendar year was larger than any in previous history. With two-thirds of the population anxious about climate change, and more than half worried about its effects on their mental health, becoming a climate-aware therapist is a competency we should all be considering. The mainstay of good ecotherapy is your familiarity with your own “environmental identity.” This self-concept and sense of relationship with nature provides the base on which to build client-specific, ecotherapy interventions. In this experiential session, you’ll discover how to:

  • Explore one's environmental identity, beliefs, and experiences
  • Adapt your existing clinical orientation and skill set to address clients’ environmental and climate concerns
  • Unpack your clients’ sources of environmental well-being and resilience as well as their sense of environmental traumas or injustice
  • Stay mindful of ethics, context, and messaging when applying environmental interventions with diverse individuals
