It is becoming clear that climate change is happening now and yet for the most part we aren’t talking about it. This conversation will be an opportunity for us to come together to explore our thoughts and feelings about climate change and to study how and why we may resist talking about it. The more we understand about climate change and the resistance we have talking about it, the more prepared we will be to help our clients talk about their thoughts and feelings, and the more ready we will be to cope with the changes ahead.   Note: tacos will be served.
