#31 On Climate Change with Susan Kassouf - Traumatized sensibility and denial

Dear Listener,

In this episode we continue our discussion on climate change with Susan Kassouf. We talk about traumatized sensibility, a concept important to Susan, about narcissism and castration, how the planet can hide the civilization, and the need to develop a new language to think climate change in psychoanalysis, and much more. A difficult but needed discussion as the magnitude of the threat of climate change is hard to grasp for many.
