I assume Climate Anxiety is universally present in the collective unconscious. Joanna Macy has written: "Until the late twentieth century, every generation throughout history lived with the tacit certainty that there would be generations to follow. Each assumed, without questioning, that its children and children's children would walk the same Earth, under the same sky. Hardships, failures, and personal death were encompassed in that vaster assurance of continuity. That certainty is now lost to us, whatever our politics. That loss, unmeasured and immeasurable, is the pivotal psychological reality of our time."

The body responds to danger by releasing hormones into the blood stream. This immediately give us an edge both physically and mentally, giving us more strength and mental alertness, to help us survive. In the fast paced life we live today the stress buttons are being constantly pressed. Instead of escaping from a sabre tooth tiger we are stressed about important presentations, getting stuck in traffic and meeting targets. The result impermeably having to experience the feelings of danger and readiness at the expense of being calm and relaxed. With Cutting edge psychological tools and traditional practices you can be finding the calm in and average of between 1 and 4 sessions
Anxiety, Stress and Worry affects us all. We evolved to deal with stressful threats every now and again. We are not evolved to deal with the sheer uniquely and prevalence of stressful situations that pervade our homes, communities and workplaces. Worry about the past and keeping the pain of the past in the present is widespread. Anxiety about the future invariably involves perceptions about what we imagine may happen, but which the mind has difficulty differentiating between what is real and what our imagination has created. Fortunately there is a profusion of strategies for minimising stress and the effects of worry and anxiety, and my approaches involve building self-esteem up to previous levels, mindful mediation to enable you to take a step back from worrisome thoughts, rather than become subsumed by them, and helping you reorient locus of control so you are more in control of yourself, rather than delegating responsibility to external influences.
