Editor’s note: We interviewed experts, policy makers and community organizers about how climate change is impacting the mental and physical health of residents. These conversations will be presented in “Heating Up,” a podcast with the Sun’s Arleigh Rodgers. At the end of the series, the interviews will be presented in story form. Enjoy.
In the sixth episode of “Heating Up,” the Sun’s Arleigh Rodgers speaks with Emily Lewis of the outpatient therapy practice Veridian Wellness in Henderson. With her master’s in counseling, Lewis specializes in anxiety, depression, the impacts of trauma, and narcissistic family members.
Lewis spoke about how her clients have expressed their climate anxieties, as well as how older patients reflect on the climate crisis compared to younger ones. This concern typically crosses political lines and ages, though the emotions themselves tend to differ per age, she said.
