Emotional Resilience and the Ecological Self

This course helps us understand our ecological emotions, a broad umbrella of emotional states we experience regarding environmental and climate crises and introduces us to different skills and techniques that can validate and encourage us to regulate our emotions with support. We will examine the latest understanding of the emotional and psychological impacts of environmental and climate knowledge and how these symptoms can manifest among different demographics, especially those with marginalized identities who bear the largest share of the adverse outcomes already. The most important lesson of the course is that resilience can be learned!
