Climate change anxiety, a spike in distress or fear about the effects of climate change, is an emerging mental health challenge. And if you’re part of the more than two-thirds of Americans who experience some form of it, you might be wondering what you can do to feel better. Maybe you’re a candidate for climate-aware therapy? Or how about getting involved in climate action? In this episode of Vitals, Sheena answers all this and more, with the help of Britt Wray, a researcher studying the intersection of climate change and psychology, and Merryl Reichbach, a climate-aware therapist.
