Thomas Doherty will be presenting two talks at Antioch University New England on Friday, December 3rd and Monday, December 6th.
Environmental Studies Colloquium Series: Thomas Doherty “Master of Two Worlds”
Psychology Tools for Conservation Professionals
Date: Friday, 12/3/10
Time: 11:30-12:45
Place: Dance Studio
Clinical psychologist and Antioch alumni Thomas Doherty will introduce the model of personal sustainability he uses with his clients and describe research and practices for promoting diverse environmental identities, personally meaningful conservation behaviors, and resilience in the face of environmental catastrophe. He will describe the complex pathways to environmentally significant behavior and ways to work with positive and negative emotions to foster motivation, creativity, and equanimity, and to avoid push back.
The Master of Two Worlds metaphor, drawn from the archetypal Hero’s Journey, provides a useful model for agents of change who carry a vision of sustainability and labor to foster their vision in their families, organizations, and communities.
This event is free and open to the public
