Psychology Today: 5 Things That Can Alleviate Your Eco-Anxiety

In the latest blog post for Psychology TodayDekila Chungyalpa explores techniques to help us cope with emotions and build inner resilience.

Climate change has moved from the sidelines to center stage in the past few years.

Not surprisingly, as we begin to understand exactly how environmental and climate issues affect us, our lives, and those we love, our anxiety and concern have grown in tandem.

KEY POINTS

  • The people at the frontlines of environmental issues are uniquely affected by climate change because they overwhelmingly bear the costs.
  • Growing your awareness toward others can expand compassion and help to overcome feelings of loneliness.
  • When we build relationships and support other change-makers, we can collectively make a difference.
