Thanks for another vital article, Britt. I'm really interested in the collectivization of the project of emotional sophistication and healing. It seems that I am only capable of truly overcoming eco-anxiety when I am surrounded by others who are endeavoring, earnestly, to do the same. I think we are approaching a threshold culturally (pointed to in your article) through which it becomes apparent, cultural-wide, how widespread the need for processing difficult emotions, and regenerative work truly is. We will no longer experience profound loneliness in our suffering, and may stand a chance of transforming the way that we live thereby. So yeah, resonance!

Thanks for weighing in Max! It is really fascinating to consider thresholds for the collectivization of emotional sophistication and healing. Sure feels like something is happening out there, across more struggles than just climate, where more of us are realizing that our future depends on getting this emotional part "right"...
