Oddbean new post about login | logout Occasionally I am contacted by people who have severe climate anxiety (or climate depression). In my experience there is very often something else in the background going on. But I wonder if anyone on here has good resources to point people towards (other than psychological help) #ClimateAnxiety #KlimaAngst #KlimaDepression #ClimateDepression
@ad951bfd i found this book particularly helpful on this subject https://www.waterstones.com/book/a-guide-to-eco-anxiety/anouchka-grose/9781786784292
@ad951bfd Not really. But I have experienced the same thing with people contacting me about very strong war anxiety, where they really don’t need factual information from a military analyst but rather coping guidance from a therapist.
@ad951bfd For the feeling of hopelessness, I only have my Klimalinks: https://www.draketo.de/wissen/klimalinks They show that good things happen, that people are active, and that we have a chance to preserve an inhabitable earth for future generations.
@ad951bfd This page has some suggestions and resources -- https://www.psycom.net/anxiety/coping-climate-grief-anxiety
@ad951bfd the book "hospicing modernity" by vanessa machado de oliveira . the first half of it is preparing the listener for dealing w/the heavy facts of the situation (so climate aware people can skip that part), but the second half is pretty good.
