Eco Anxiety

Coping with Climate Anxiety

Life on our planet is in imminent danger. Those who have taken the responsibility to understand the growing emergency struggle to maintain emotional and mental resilience in the face of overwhelming catastrophes. Enlivening our connection with nature is essential both for our sanity and for our survival, as is a shift in consciousness from our exploitive view of the world to one of caretaking and restoration.
Eva Jahn, psychotherapist, founded the Climate Emotional Resilience Institute to address this growing societal crisis by providing both coping skills and community. She joins Paul Beckwith and Dale Walkonen in this conversation.

Transformative Adaptation

It's too late to avoid #ClimateChange, but it's not too late to take action to limit the worst case scenarios. Many of us are overwhelmed by grief and anxiety about the state of our planet and our chances of survival. Our colleague, #RupertRead, makes the case for realism and #TransformativeAdaptation. It's too late to be passive. It's time to unite in protest and in creating communities of activists.
