Printed on wood-free paper with nontoxic ink.

Ignoring climate change is no longer an option. Climate change is real—and so is the fear and anxiety building in its wake. This timely guide offers evidence-based tools to transform your fears about this environmental crisis into meaning, purpose, and action.

Is climate anxiety keeping you awake at night? Have you or your family been impacted by climate-driven fires, floods, or other extreme weather events? Do you worry about the future, and what it means for the next generation? As devastation wrought by extreme weather becomes the new normal, it's getting harder and harder to ignore a crisis that is not only inevitable—but already upon us. How does one cope with this existential realization? How can you overcome feeling so paralyzed and powerless that you lose hope, give up, or stop taking action?

Written for people struggling with climate anxiety, depression, and eco grief, this groundbreaking guide offers practical, evidence-based tools based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you cope with climate change right now. This book can help you gain strength, wisdom, and clarity to move past feelings of hopelessness. You'll also learn self-care strategies to reduce the fear, anger, and despair triggered by the next inevitable headline.

Discover powerful tools to help you:

  • Work through difficult thoughts and feelings
  • Regulate your emotions and fears
  • Identify your values through an environmental lens
  • Transform fear into meaning and purpose

A crisis of this magnitude demands maximum psychological flexibility to avoid being overwhelmed by an avalanche of distressing emotions. Ignoring the problem is not an option. Facing Climate Anxiety will help you tap into the wisdom needed to weather the coming storms.
