Feeling anxious about climate change can lead to overwhelm and shutdown, a concept environmental psychologist Dr. Renee Lertzman calls our "window of tolerance." Exceeding this threshold can immobilize us, preventing effective engagement.

Dr. Lertzman's unique approach integrates behavioral, social, and design sciences. She offers psychological tools to acknowledge these anxieties, creating conditions that empower individuals to move past immobilization and contribute their brilliant selves to social change.
