About this Course

Compassionate work in the face of polycrisis

This workshop integrates Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) with Ecopsychology, addressing the psychological impacts of environmental crises alongside personal health challenges. Ecopsychology is an interdisciplinary field that incorporates systemic thinking, and explores the relationship between human beings and the natural environment, integrating principles from both ecology, psychology, and the science of sustainability. It emphasizes the emotional bond between humans and (non-human) nature, aiming to understand how this connection affects mental health, well-being, and wider social and societal issues. Ecopsychology seeks to remedy feelings of alienation from the natural world, advocating for a psychological connection to the environment. This field posits that many psychological issues stem from our disconnection from others and (non-human) nature and that healing can occur through fostering these relationships. Which may be particularly helpful in the era of polycrisis. Polycrisis refers here to a situation characterized by multiple, interrelated crises that exacerbate one another, leading to complex challenges that are difficult to address in isolation. This term is often used in discussions about global issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, social inequality, and public health crises.

We will be looking at the application of CFT in terms of polycrisis and by employing ecopsychological thinking. During the workshop, participants will therefore learn how to apply compassionate practices and the theory of CFT to navigate the complexities of a polycrisis, including climate change and health issues (individual and collective). The session will emphasize the interconnectedness of personal well-being and ecological health, offering tools to cultivate compassion for oneself and the planet.

We will cover the topics of:

  • What ecopsychology, ecotherapy, polycrisis are, and how it impacts our mental health, and helping professions,
  • How is CFT connected to ecopsychology
  • How the two paradigms work together – practical applications of combining them both
