Description

A full course in supporting clients anxieties about climate change and related issues. It is crucial to differentiate between proportionate concern—which can motivate positive action—and overwhelming distress that impairs daily functioning. For some, eco-anxiety becomes so intense that it leads to sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, avoidance of certain activities, or a paralysing sense of guilt and helplessness. In these cases, the anxiety is no longer adaptive; it becomes a barrier to wellbeing and agency. Therapists must walk a fine line: validating the reality of environmental threats while helping clients avoid being consumed by them.
