The Hub er vores kuraterede bibliotek af ressourcer til klima-mental sundhed.

Cllimte conversations

Too often, we sit in silence with our difficult eco-emotions, which creates a sense of loneliness and powerlessness. Authentic conversations about how we’re feeling — in a space where those feelings are welcomed — can dramatically change that. Talking with others who give us permission to share openly can be comforting, empowering, and unleash creativity all at the same time. 

​

Climate Awakening

Sometimes you just need to express your climate feelings with other people who get it, and not much more is required. Activist and psychologist Margaret Klein Salamon created Climate Awakening as a series of ongoing sharing and listening sessions that anyone can drop into virtually.

​

Climate Cafes

Climate cafes are human-centric, emotions-friendly meetings where people can safely express what they’re sensing about what the climate crisis means—not in some far-out future way, but for their own lives and loved ones. They are a relational and permission-giving space that help people work through their fears and  frustrations. Search online for “your city + climate cafe” to find a climate cafe near you, or sign up for an ongoing virtual series run by the Climate Psychology Alliance here

​

Conceivable Future

Drawing attention to the pressure that the climate crisis puts on reproductive decisions, and the injustice this causes for people of childbearing age today, Conceivable Future hosts “house parties” where people can express their concerns and desires about how to have kids, or not, in these times. The founders adamantly support personal choice and do not endorse any way as the “right” way to navigate reproductive decisions in the climate crisis, whether that might mean having multiple children, adopting, or refusing to reproduce.

Climate-aware theapy

Hvis du føler dig så deprimeret, angst eller overvældet af klimakrisen, at du kæmper for at holde dig oven vande eller blive i arbejdet, kan det være et godt tidspunkt at ringe til en klimabevidst terapeut. I de senere år er en bevidst gruppe af psykoterapeuter, socialrådgivere og psykiatere gået sammen for at hjælpe folk til at leve mere komfortabelt med deres klimabevidsthed gennem forskellige metoder og praksisser.

Disse terapeuter er specielle i den forstand, at de aldrig vil patologisere ens øko-nød eller afvise det som katastrofal tænkning, hvorimod andre terapeuter nogle gange gør (hvilket ender med at efterlade folk misforståede, fremmedgjorte og mange gange værre). De forstår denne nød som en naturlig og rimelig reaktion på det, der sker – et tegn på ens forbindelse til og omsorg for verden – samtidig med at de giver perspektiver, værktøjer og teknikker til at håndtere den.

“Emotional methodologies” help people connect with and process difficult climate feelings, such as anxiety, grief, and dread, in ways that build courage, acceptance, and inner resilience. Unlike much climate-aware therapy, emotional methodologies are practices that are designed to be done in groups, and are not necessarily facilitated by a mental health professional. In each their own way, they move people past denial and emotional paralysis towards deeper understanding of their own felt responses, as well as meaningful external actions they can take.

For more on emotional methodologies, see Jo Hamilton’s 2020 PhD thesis.

​

Here are a couple of our favourite emotional methodologies:

​

The Work That Reconnects

TWTR is practiced around the world as a way to cultivate inner resilience, healing, and connection in collectively dark times that demand empowered action. It is based in the teachings of Joanna Macy, a renowned activist and author whose life has been dedicated to helping people tap into the interconnectedness of all living things using a mixture of modern systems theory, Indigenous, and Buddhist philosophies.

​

The Evolving Edge 

A branch of TWTR that is focused on decolonizing the practices of TWTR to better meet the needs of communities of colour.

Good Grief Network

GGN is an innovative peer support network for processing and integrating the uncertainty and grief that the climate and wider eco-crisis can awaken in people. Based on Alcoholics Anonymous, this group format moves participants through a 10-step program in which key topics are processed in a supportive setting, such as: “accept the uncertainty of the predicament,” “practice being with uncertainty,” and “honor my mortality and the mortality of all.”

Somatik

At praktisere somatik (fra det græske soma for "krop") er at lytte til de fornemmelser, der kommer ind gennem kroppen som et grundlæggende sprog. Det er en måde at arbejde med forbindelsen mellem sind og krop for at blive bevidste om dybt forankrede bevidste og ubevidste mønstre, overlevelsesstrategier og eksistensmåder, som vi lærer af traumatiske situationer. Ved at blive bevidste om disse mønstre, der er indlejret i vores neurobiologi, kan vi rykke op og omorganisere dem mod retfærdighedsorienteret forandring og frigørelse.

Generativ somatik

Generative Somatics, en organisation, der arbejder i klimaets og social retfærdigheds tjeneste, tilbyder flere slags traume-informerede somatiske programmer, der engagerer vores følelser, fornemmelser og fysiologi til individuel, kollektiv og samfundsmæssig transformation.

Klimaspecifikke mindfulness-retreats

Klima- og social retfærdighedsaktivister er ikke fremmede for følelser af overvældelse, depression og udbrændthed. Mens verdens dårligdomme, som vi arbejder på at helbrede, ofte føles som en ubarmhjertig kamp op ad bakke, som vi kan modstå et stykke tid, bliver denne stigning til sidst for meget at bære. Mindfulness og mindful meditation har vist sig at være effektive måder at finde genoprettelse ved at jorde sig selv i nuet. De griber ind i sandheder om den ikke-dualistiske glæde og lidelse, som er en del af tilværelsen til enhver tid, på måder, der er sjæleligt nærende.

Plum Village

Plum Village, et Zen-buddhistisk retreatcenter i Frankrig, der er forankret i læren fra aktivisten og den globale spirituelle leder Thich Nhat Hanh , tilbyder nogle gange online mindfulness-retreats for aktivister og klimaaktivister . Anbefales til øjeblikke med højt følelsesmæssigt drama, fortvivlelse, udbrændthed, medfølelsestræthed og generel udmattelse.

Grænseløs i bevægelse

Klimakrisen belaster farvefællesskaber uforholdsmæssigt meget og lægger mere stress oven i eksisterende undertrykkelse. Det kræver igen kulturelt følsom støtte. Zen-buddhistisk præst og seniorforsker ved Environmental Defense Fund, Dr. Kritee Kanko, er vært for flere dages ecodharma-retreats for farvede mennesker, såvel som BIPOC-sorgcirkler.
