Linda Cundy: Attachment, Climate Crisis and the Natural World

£FREE

In this Optima Presents webinar, psychotherapist and attachment specialist Linda Cundy explores attachment, climate crisis and the natural world, considering how attachment theory can deepen our understanding of our emotional relationship with Nature. The session explores themes including climate anxiety, ecological grief, separation and loss, belonging and disconnection, and considers how environmental change can affect our sense of safety, connection and place in the world. Drawing on attachment-informed thinking, Linda invites counsellors, psychotherapists and other mental health professionals to reflect on the psychological impact of the climate crisis and what our relationship with the natural world might reveal about attachment, loss and the human need for connection.

Want to take your understanding of attachment further?

Our relationship with the natural world is another reminder that attachment isn’t simply about identifying an attachment style. It gives us a way of thinking about safety, connection, belonging, separation and loss — and how these experiences shape us.

Our CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Attachment-Based Psychotherapy takes attachment theory into clinical practice, helping you recognise what may be happening beneath the behaviours your clients bring into the therapy room — and how attachment is unfolding within the therapeutic relationship itself.
