The session will ask: In a time of deep change, who or what needs to change?
What does counselling and psychotherapy have to contribute in a time of global upheaval, when the familiar is dying?听听 And how might counselling and psychotherapy have to change in order not to perpetuate the same patterns that keep the system in a stuck place?
I will introduce the main findings of my book 鈥淐limate Psychology and Change鈥� (2024), which explores the ways in which power, colonialism, capitalism and our innocent seeming familiar practices and theories impact our myriad crises - while also shaping Western psychology as we know it.
The findings of the book suggest that we can no longer think of therapeutic practice as bringing clients back to baseline 鈥渘ormal鈥� when our society鈥檚 鈥榥ormal鈥� is profoundly unwell and our familiar ways of being reflect the same unsustainable systems that erode our ecosystems, accelerate global destruction, and extract our humanity.
Together, we will reflect on the aspects of our profession that are urgently needed in a world in crisis whilst not shying away from a critical reflection of some familiar professional lenses that seem to collude with a system that is costing us the Earth.
