Textbook Trauma: The Emotions of Climate Change

Important video


I combined interviews with
Paleoclimate Expert Jeffrey Kiehl, who took an additional Master’s
degree in clinical psych to better understand the reactions
he was seeing when he spoke about climate science, with
Sarah Myhre, another climate expert and outspoken feminist, who has
been exploring the raw emotional reaction to the
science - for a meditation
on how our brains process information that is
this shocking.

Turns out it’s right out of the Trauma textbook.
