Resilience in Dark Times

Podcast -- Newsletter

The World is Broken

Politically and Ecologically, the world seems to be spinning out of control. You see the quick march towards authoritarian rule. You see the catastrophic weather events caused by global warming, and know they will only get worse. You fear where this is all headed. It can feel overwhelming. Depending on the day, you can feel anger, fear, sadness, or hopelessness. Sometimes all of that, all at once!

You are Not Alone.

I get it. I feel the same way. All of your feelings — the anger, sadness, fear — these are all appropriate feelings in response to what is happening right now. But we are not alone.

Authoritarianism and Climate Change are a threat to everyone. Professionally, I am a psychotherapist. I help individuals overcome individual trauma and personal tragedy. But this is different. This is a collective threat, so we need to respond collectively.

That is why I started Resilience in Dark Times.

We can build a Community of Active Resilience

Resilience is not only about how you feel; resilience is about what you do. Yes, we need to process our feelings enough to cope. But we also need to address the cause of our current crisis. We need to stop the dual threat of authoritarianism and climate change. Together, we can create a better world, for all of us.
