The climate crisis is creating great change and uncertainty. How can we navigate this as therapeutic practitioners? Through the Door does not aim to answer the ‘What should I do?' question, nor is it a solutions-oriented skills training for practitioners. It is an experiential space of feeling, thinking and imagining together, inviting participants to cross a threshold into new ways of meeting the future. In cultures where performance, goal setting and productivity are heavily emphasized, learning to bear what feels unbearable, think the unthinkable, and resist the urge for premature closure permits the emergence of fresh responses to the challenges of this destabilizing time.
Through the Door has been offered by CPA-UK since 2018. Co-facilitators for this iteration are: Chris Robertson — psychotherapist and trainer since 1978, CPA-UK ex-Chair, co-founder of Re-Vision and co-author of Climate Psychology: A matter of life and death (2022) amongst other writings. www.culture-crisis.net.
