September 11: Coping with Climate Distress, with Dr. Phillipe Goldin

Join UC Davis TERC in welcoming Dr. Phillipe Goldin from the UC Davis Clinically Applied Affective Neuroscience Laboratory. His presentation focuses on providing tools and methods for working with climate distress as a normal and reasonable response to very real and concerning changes in our collective environment. His research draws from clinical science of emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal, acceptance), contemplative science (mindfulness, compassion, interconnectedness, nature meditations), and community resilience (based on evidence from studies that were conducted across the entire University of California system). His work can help us better understand how we can work together with climate distress, self-efficacy, and prosocial climate engagement to support ourselves, our loved ones, and our community.

Philippe Goldin, PhD, is a Professor at the University of California, Davis, and leads the Clinically Applied Affective Neuroscience Laboratory. His team is engaged in (a) basic research on the brain networks that differentiate different types of emotion regulation strategies; (b) clinical research on the neural bases of psychopathology; (c) clinical intervention research examining the brain and behavioral mechanisms of therapeutic change during Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy​, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and Compassion Cultivation Training in adults with anxiety and depression disorders, and (d) the intersection of climate anxiety, emotion regulation and climate resilience.
