Although the environmental and physical effects of climate change
have long been recognised, little attention has been given to the
profound negative impact on mental health. Leslie Davenport
presents comprehensive theory, strategies and resources for
addressing key clinical themes specific to the psychological impact
of climate change. She explores the psychological underpinnings
that have contributed to the current global crisis, and offers
robust therapeutic interventions for dealing with anxiety, stress,
depression, trauma and other clinical mental health conditions
resulting from environmental damage and disaster. She emphasizes
the importance of developing resilience and shows how to utilise
the many benefits of guided imagery and mindful presence
techniques, and carry out interventions that draw on expert
research into ecopsychology, wisdom traditions, earth-based
indigenous practices and positive psychology. The strategies in
this book will cultivate transformative, person-centred ways of
being, resulting in regenerative lifestyles that benefit both the
individual and the planet.
All the Feelings Under the Sun: How to Deal With Climate Change is
a timely, thoughtful workbook that will help young readers work
through their feelings of anxiety about climate change. Through
informative text and activities, the book gives children
age-appropriate information about the climate crisis and gives them
the tools they need to manage their anxiety and work toward making
change.
Guided imagery is a transformative practice for reducing stress,
healing mind and body, and improving performance. This definitive
collection brings together leading pioneers in the field of guided
imagery to share its theory, practice and history. Readers are
introduced to the extensive uses of imagery, from its medical
application for pain relief, cancer care and other physical
healing, through its significant contribution to mental health and
depth psychology, to its application within the arts and as a
vehicle for social change. An exploration of the place of imagery
within spiritual and religious traditions includes a never before
published guide to the internal alchemy of Daoist imagery.
Transformative Imagery will enable professionals to tailor guided
imagery to their individual practice, demonstrating how to use it
with people of all ages, from chronic pain patients to athletes to
combat veterans and for both mental and physical health.
