Surviving Climate Anxiety E-BOOK

When Dr. Thomas Doherty published his groundbreaking paper 'The Psychological Impacts of Global Climate Change' in American Psychologist over a decade ago, he predicted a perfect storm brewing for a mental health crisis of global proportions. And it has arrived. Today, we are more anxious than ever, seized by an impossible new source of mental anguish: climate change and the global environmental crisis. Doherty, who is a pioneer in this crucial, fast-growing field of climate anxiety and 'one of the most visible authorities on climate change and psychology,' according to The New York Times, recognizes that this is a very real crisis as well as an existential one. The magnitude of our fear is so great, that many of us simply don't know how to process this level of potential worldwide devastation.

In his vital debut, The Sustainable Self: A Guide to Coping, Identity, and Action in a Climate Changed World, Doherty will share his unique step-by-step psychological approach to understanding and healing our environmental anguish, a process he has been teaching practitioners and patients for over 15 years. The Sustainable Self will allow readers to view climate change in new and crucial ways, providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to orient themselves in the truth of our current climate crisis, to be able to manage their own reactions to it, and plan for their future of positive personal growth.

This is the first book of its kind.
