The Biodiversity Of Emotions With Caroline Hickman

The interconnectedness between the planet and human psychology is not necessarily a new idea, but conversations about it do need to be had more, especially as it relates to how humans can learn to cope psychologically with the existential threat that is the climate crisis. In previous episodes we’ve ventured into conversations about climate-anxiety and eco-grief. In this episode, we’re digging a little deeper to discover what it means to embrace the biodiversity of emotions and to welcome radical hope into our lives with guest and eco-hero, Caroline Hickman. Caroline is lecturer at the University of Bath in social work and climate psychology, is a practicing ‘climate-aware psychotherapist’, and has done extensive research on children and young people’s relationships with nature and feelings about the climate and ecological crisis.  Follow Imperfect Eco-Hero on instagram at @imperfect_ecohero.
