Does the future of our planet usher in hopelessness? Do you stay up at night worrying whether Earth will remain habitable for our children?
If so, you may suffer from eco-anxiety.
Eco-anxiety is fear for the future of our planet + manifests itself in feelings of anger, powerlessness or exhaustion. A 2017 report by the American Psychological Association found that – because it’s chronic by nature –  eco-anxiety can have lasting impacts on mental health.
My guest this week is Laura Durenberger. Laura’s on the show to differentiate between eco-anxiety, eco-guilt + eco-shame. She draws on research as well as her unique personal experience, too, when offering 4 strategies for managing planet-related fears.
Enjoy!
