Exploring Climate Crisis Discourse in Therapist-Client Interactions: A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study
2024
Overview
This hermeneutic phenomenological study aims to understand how mental health practitioners experience and respond to climate-related concerns when working with clients. Equally important to this study is the absence of climate-related issues in therapy sessions. Five participants, all working as clinicians in private practices, served as the sample for this research. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and interpreted through a hermeneutic phenomenological lens. The data analysis revealed four themes: 1) Prioritization of Immediate Issues; 2) Not Wanting to Attend to Impending Catastrophe; 3) Misnaming or Mispunctuating; 4) Therapist’s Approach. Participants in this study indicated they felt unprepared to handle climate-related issues during client sessions and reported insufficient training in graduate school. This study highlights the need for a transformative approach to psychotherapy that makes environmental concerns central. It will be important to view the therapeutic process through an environmental lens where therapists engage with sociopolitical issues instead of remaining neutral. As climate change continues to escalate, integrating environmental awareness into therapy will be essential, becoming a standard part of the therapeutic process.
