This chapter explores how psychotherapists can support transformational systemic change in the face of the climate crisis, through understanding the connection between inner and outer (environmental) landscapes. It explores unconscious cognitive biases as invisible drivers of climate change, and describes reactivating dormant capacities such as creativity and intuition to help grow into full human capacities to address the existential nature of the crisis.
