Climate Psychology
Climate disruption is not only a scientific, technological or political challenge. It is something human beings must perceive, emotionally process and respond to. Fear, grief, anger, denial, helplessness, hope, meaning, identity and our capacity for collective action all influence how societies encounter the climate crisis.
Seeing the larger connections
Climate psychology gives Whole Life Times a natural meeting place between its long-standing interests in psychology, consciousness and ecological wellbeing. This page will explore the psychological consequences of ecological disruption while also asking what helps people remain engaged, resilient and capable of constructive action rather than becoming overwhelmed or turning away.
As this part of the Whole Life Times website develops, the page will connect relevant magazine articles, historical archive material, WLT Dialogues, books, research and related subjects. In that way it can grow from an introductory pathway into a richer and increasingly interconnected field of knowledge.
