667: How to circumvent environmental anxiety
This week on the Anxiety Slayer Podcast, we’re discussing a listener question about environmental anxiety and all of the fear-mongering that is hammering all of us daily.
Hi! I've been listening to your podcasts for a few years now. They've been helping me so much with my anxiety. I was wondering if you could speak about environmental anxiety? With the news and statistics available today, it's hard not to be in a constant state of dread and doom. Thank you for everything you do!
We’re all in this together.

This time of year can be a bit overwhelming, and it’s totally natural to feel some sadness or anxiety about it. Navigating the change in weather, planning for the holidays and all that comes with the hustle and expectations we put on ourselves.
Therapy can be a bright spot amid all of the stress and change – something to look forward to, to make you feel grounded, and to give you the tools to manage everything going on. It isn’t just for those who’ve experienced major trauma; etc.
If you’re thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. Just fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist, and switch therapists any time for no additional charge.

Jane Goodall - “The Book of Hope”
In “The Book of Hope”, Jane focuses on her four reasons for hope: the amazing human intellect, the resilience of nature, the power of young people, and the indomitable human spirit.
“Looking at the headlines - the worsening climate crisis, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval - it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.”
