Mental Health, Emotions and the Climate Crisis

Britt Wray, Ph.D. researcher, Stanford fellow, and author, joins our host George Warren, to share her research into the mental health impact of the climate crisis as well as the obvious, but often ignored, solutions to the eco-distress that is happening worldwide.

Britt encourages us to embrace the array of emotions that arise when considering the current crisis we are in. She suggests curiosity and self-compassion as doors to meaningful actions, describing this heart-centred, raw “internal activism” as the key to change. Coaches can use this approach with their clients, empowering them to participate in creating better outcomes. A challenging, informative but honest conversation.

“We can be a climate activist and not have a squeaky-clean report card.”
