54 分钟Have you ever felt a knot in your stomach where you see headlines about wildfires,
floods or record-breaking heat, that sense of grief and guilt and fear and even doom?
has a name.
It's called Climate Anxiety,
and the good news is that this episode is going to help you move through those heavy feelings and discover a more helpful and hopeful and powered approach.
Today, I'm joined by the amazing Sarah Jacquet-Ray,
the author of The Field Guide to Climate Anxiety,
right here, and a leading voice on how to navigate this very real human experience.
Now, together, we're going to unpack why climate shows up, how it impacts our mental health,
and most importantly, how we can turn it into resilience,
connection, and meaningful action that actually fuels hope.
So thank you so much for being here, Sarah.
Thank you so much.
It's a pleasure.
Okay, for those who have never heard this term, can you first just clarify what is climate anxiety?
Yeah, I think you defined it really well in your intro right there.
One of the things that is characterized as sort of a mixture of a lot of different emotions that oftentimes
because people don't associate their responses to things like climate change as emotional,
they don't necessarily parse it out in the same way that you would
if you were thinking about your mental health and categories that we're used to.
