Psychoanalytic Views on Climate Change with Dr. Janet Lewis

We all have to be in it together, and we are in it together... helping people to move from the concern and the anxiety and the overwhelm into action.
Have you ever wondered how climate change affects your mental health? In this engaging episode of 'Whole Body Mental Health Radio', Dr. Jose Calderon-Abbo chats with Dr. Janet Lewis, a psychiatrist with a unique focus on the psychological impacts of environmental issues. Dr. Lewis, who practices in New York's Finger Lakes region and teaches at the University of Rochester, brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation.
She is deeply involved in groups like the Climate Psychiatry Alliance and the Ithaca Therapists’ Climate Group, which support mental health professionals dealing with climate-related issues. The discussion dives into eco-anxiety, the emotional toll of climate disasters, and how our environment influences our mental state. They also explore how nature can serve as a powerful metaphor for personal growth and self-awareness.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intersection of climate change and mental health, offering both insightful perspectives and practical advice on coping with environmental stressors.
