Eco-Anxiety: how to deal with our fear of climate change

  • Course
  • 4 Lessons

A webinar on why we seek control in an era of uncertainty

Overwhelmed by a struggling planet?

As the climate emergency becomes more real and more spoken about, some of us also start to worry more. The scenery around us changes, scientists put pressure on governments and citizens, new deadlines are imposed, and time seems, now more than ever, too little.

At the same time, a pandemic is added to our already vulnerable psyche and the loss of control is a tangible reality we have to accept.
This combination of warnings and irreversible changes forces us to confront thoughts, feelings and fears that were more easily ignored in the past: vulnerability, distance, lack of control, death.

Does this sound like you?

  • thinking about the state of our planet makes you feel anxious about the future
  • you worry that it is too late for our planet and catastrophize about possible scenarios
  • even when doing everyday things, you worry about how your actions impact the planet
  • your worry about uncertainty of the planet’s future can paralyze you with fear
  • you constantly think about how the end to our existence is near.

Then this course is exactly what you need!

Don’t worry, this course will not aim to scare you even more!

On the contrary, it will help you understand and process how we, humans, react to unknown threats related to our roots, our planet, and our existence.

This workshop will not aim to scare you even more.

Instead of fear, anxiety, and panic, how would it feel to...?

  • Be able to go from awareness to taking action instead of getting paralyzed with fear?
  • Find purpose and meaning instead of catastrophizing and worrying?
  • Have a more healthy and balanced outlook on our planet instead of going into extremes?

Join us and you will learn:

  • The ways we react to disasters. 
  • Fears, feelings and mental health issues that arise when confronted with the (possibility) of a disaster. 
  • Theories related to eco-anxiety and ecological grief 
  • What to do in order to find meaning from these situations without freezing
  • Ways to deal with the overwhelming effect of a disaster without leaning towards extreme pessimism nor extreme optimism.
