Extra Info | : | This conference focuses on life for children and adolescents in the era of climate chaos and the Sixth Mass Extinction. As young people hear daily reports of environmental disasters, how can the complexity of their feelings – their anger, fear and sense of abandonment – be heard, understood and fully responded to? How is the current ecological crisis showing up in their behaviour, preoccupations, dreams, and sense of future? How do they navigate the tension between hope and despair; action and nihilism? And what insights can psychotherapy offer, when we perhaps feel just as lost? |
