Sally Weintrobe spoke with Dr Niamh Shaw  about working through our feelings about the climate emergency. Her talk explored feelings many of us share about the current state of the climate and the environment; also, what can help us bear these feelings so we can better address the damage and push for change.

Sally is a psychoanalyst, working on climate and the environment. She is a Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society, a founder member of the Climate Psychology Alliance and she chairs the International Psychoanalytic Association’s Committee on Climate. Her new book, “Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis” is available this April. 

This talk which took place on On Wednesday March 3rd 2021, is part of the New Approaches to Climate Change Speaker Series, curated by Dr Niamh Shaw as part of the Abbeyleix Climate Action Project. Supported by Creative Laois as part of the Creative Ireland programme in partnership with Laois County Council, Midlands Science and Abbeyleix Tidy Towns.
