Part II of interview with Janna Diamond, climate therapist

Janna Diamond:” People come to me specifically and say ‘I really need to work through some of my ecological and ecological distress or grief.’ And I'm like, ‘We're not going to work through. We're going to work with’. “

ANYA: You sort of laid a hint for this in the beginning and talked about, okay, our bodies are part of nature and we are our bodies. And so that I can see how that leads to a sense of sort of ecological connectedness. Which is one dimension of your work that, that speaks to the climate crisis. But what else? I mean, how else does this work help us live in this time?

JANNA: My gosh, you're asking such good and massive questions.

ANYA: I'm sorry. I know that's a big question.

JANNA: I appreciate it deeply. Whether I'm actually going to offer something of value and service, I don't know…

 Like, I'm looking out my window right now that, you know, and this forest I live in, these trees support me so much. We have these ecological bodies. We can look at the Earth as our earth body.
