Kate Adams - performance maker, lecturer, and co-chair of the Climate Psychology Alliance - talks with host Michael Hanf about how creativity and vulnerability can help people navigate the emotional weight of the climate crisis. They discuss the physical toll of unprocessed emotion, the shame and guilt that can paralyse action, and the spaces Kate creates for people to confront these feelings without judgement - a conversation about grief, hope, and the risk of engaging with what we cannot fix.
