Overview

How to understand and manage your psychological responses to climate change to protect your mental health (and the planet).

It's hard to watch the news, scroll through social media, or listen to the radio without hearing or seeing something disturbing about the climate emergency. This can trigger all sorts of emotions: worry, anger, sadness, guilt, and even grief but also often over-looked positive emotions like motivation, connection, care, and abundance that support mental health and climate action for sustainable longevity.

Written by psychologists with extensive experience in treating people with eco-anxiety, this audiobook shows you how to harness these emotions, validate them, and transform them into positive action. It enables you to assess and understand your psychological responses to the climate crisis and move away from unhealthy defence mechanisms, such as denial and avoidance.

Ultimately, it shows that the solution to both climate anxiety and the climate crisis is the same - action that is sustainable for you and for the planet - and empowers you to take steps towards this.

Editorial Reviews

Prof. Martin Milton

As more and more people become aware of the reach of climate change, the need for attuned and evidenced support increases. Kennedy-Woodward and Kennedy-Williams perfectly timed, and much needed book offers a clear and accessible text to help readers understand the range of emotional responses, refrain from pathologising these in anyway and find ways to move from anxiety to action. Sadly, this book is likely to become more and more important as time goes on.

Susan Clayton

We all have a role to play in addressing climate change. This volume, both highly informed and highly readable, helps to understand the complex and sometimes uncomfortable emotions that accompany that role. Climate anxiety can be an opportunity that prompts us to strengthen our relationship with the earth.

Michael Mann

When it comes to climate action, the obstacles we face are no longer technological, they are primarily political and psychological in nature. Read "Turn the Tide on Climate Anxiety" and better understand those obstacles-doom, denial, and defeatism— and how to circumnavigate them.

Nathan Grossman

Turn the Tide on Climate Anxiety is a very interesting and empowering book that has given me new methods for handling and understanding climate anxiety in a comprehensive way.

Sarah Wilson

The science is in, the reality is here and the noble challenge of the climate movement now is to help fellow humanity embrace their eco-anxiety and transform it into action...and build a more vibrant, productive and humane "normal". Turn the Tide takes us on the journey to this wild and hopeful alchemy.

Joe Duggan
