Vegan Psychologist Clare Mann, 44 Market Street, Sydney (2025)

26/09/2025

Over the years, I’ve spoken with thousands of vegans who ask me the same question:
“Why can’t others see what I see? What really holds them back from going vegan?”
The truth is, resistance to veganism is rarely about the facts. It’s about identity, belonging, and the discomfort of facing change. When we understand this, we can engage with compassion instead of frustration, and create space for joyful transformation.
That’s why I’m so excited to invite you to Episode 6 of our series, Vystopia: Enemy or Hidden Asset?, where I’ll be in dialogue with philosopher Matthew C. Halteman, author of Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan. Together, we’ll explore how to better understand the not-yet vegan’s world — and how that understanding can help us all become more confident, hopeful advocates.
Here’s what you’ll gain from this session:
A new perspective on why people resist veganism.
Ways to use Vystopia as a tool for deeper empathy.
Practical insights to make your advocacy feel like an invitation, not a confrontation.

YOU’RE INVITED! FREE 50-min Vystopia Recovery Webinar

If you are like so many vegans I know, you struggle with the challenges of living in this not-yet vegan world!

Every day, in cafes, at work, at your loved ones’ dinner table, you’re faced with animal cruelty hidden right in plain sight. You’re told you’re difficult and can’t understand why they just can’t see what you do.

So you live this agonising existence, resentful, alienated and covering your anguish with a smile as you try to go through your day.

Vegans ask me, “Clare, how can you remain so positive in the face of what you know?”

The answer is to develop the resilience to remain happy, hopeful and able to take action for animals – without minimising the enormity of what you know is happening behind closed doors.

I’m hosting a FREE 50-min Live Vystopia Recovery Webinar for vegans who are struggling.

Invite: Trance-Breaking in Relationship-Based Advocacy.

We live in an age of information, yet the ethical truth of veganism is still met with silence or resistance. Why?

Well….the reality is that people rarely change their attitudes or behaviour based on facts, especially when it comes to moral issues. How we make people feel is key to breaking the trance of their non-veganism.

In my collaboration with The Vegan Community, I am presenting Episode 4 of The Experience of Vystopia – Enemy or Hidden Asset?

I will talk about real-life examples of the challenges vegans face when engaging others, and how to use trance-breaking communication to foster reflection, reduce resistance, and build meaningful advocacy rooted in compassion.

You’ll leave with new tools to:

• Apply trance-breaking methods that avoid defensiveness

• Engage others in creative, empathetic conversations

• Rethink your advocacy through the long game of change

Are you a vegan who sees the world every day very differently from most people, and you know you can do more for animals and veganism if only you had a sense of peace, hope and confidence inside?

I get asked, “How is it possible with everything you and I know, to be so positive, to remain so calm, to be able to speak to people every day with ease?

And there really are three things.

1. Understand more about human behavior and resistance to change, because then you can modify your own behavior to influence change.

2. Learn to be an exquisite communicator, and that really comes from within because it starts with a conversation with yourself. When matched with specific skills, so you “meet them where they're at” they listen.

But the influence you can have is very limited if you become sad, hopeless and angry when they change right away.

Therefore:
3. Change your mindset and how you think and feel. When you do, you’ll get better results.

If you want to discover more about how developing these skills will impact your influence and impact when speaking out about veganism and animal liberation, then:

....Vegans, have you ever struggled, like many vegan clients I know whose vystopia was heightened by one comment from his partner....

“Surely for tonight, you could just have cheese on your pizza tonight so everyone else can eat at this restaurant?”

So much comes up in this one statement.

- The misinterpretation that veganism is just a diet rather than a philosophical position.

- The reminder to the vegan that they’re compromising and that it does bother them that their partner eats animals away from them, and more…..

Relationships between vegans and non-vegans are, for the main part, enormously challenging.

Why?

They see good people doing bad things!

They love the person and yet despise the behaviour that causes so much harm to others.

HOW TO AVOID RESENTMENT AND FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO RESPOND:
If you want to learn to become a happier, calmer and more influential vegan in examples like this with a non-vegan partner or friend, then JOIN me on my FREE 3-day Beyond Vystopia Masterclass.

Discover my strategies honed over 16+ years of being a vegan psychologist (and 30 years before working in the laboratory of human experience) – and become more confident so that you can remain calm and not resentful but know exactly what to say to have an impact in situations like this.

....Can you 'get over' vystopia and, if not, what's the solution to the anguish?

29/07/2025

.....Vegans, we see social media posts and feel distraught, powerless and deeply sad when we hear about animal cruelty.

Despite great strides being made for animal liberation globally, we seem to have a long way to go to end industrialised animal abuse.

When I get updates from Animal Protection Groups revealing animals’ experiences whilst politicians decide their fate, a familiar energy surges up through my body, a constant companion of mine for over fifty years.

My internal alarm system says, “I have to do something!”

That familiar alarm system has gone off throughout my life, most recently seeing the UK Animal Justice Project's exposes of the pig and dairy industries of the Australian Dublin Piggery expose. I know many of you reading this feel the same.

People online and directly tell me about the grief, outrage, despair and sense of powerlessness they feel when discovering the extent of animal abuse and the Burden of Knowing just seems to get heavier.

If you are one of the people struggling now, there IS a solution – and one that will empower your actions to continue working to help animals and play your part in creating a vegan world.

VYSTOPIA, a normal and desirable response of any feeling, decent human discovering the ubiquitous abuse of animals, invariably results in a sense of alienation, silencing with family and friends and a sense of powerlessness to fully be a force for animals and veganism. For some, it can result in depression, cynicism and total immobilisation.

INVITATION:
If you are someone who truly wants to TRANSMUTE your vystopia into POWERFUL ACTION and BECOME an INFLUENTIAL VEGAN, then my FREE 3-day Beyond Vystopia Masterclass is right for you.

So if your anguish is making you feel powerless, and you want to become more impactful, JOIN me and break through this to BECOME A CALM, DETERMINED AND POWERFUL VOICE FOR CHANGE. After all, the animals can't wait.
