It is your life passion. But sometimes, you feel like you know too much. You can’t unknow what you know, and the despair you feel about the future of our planet feels increasingly heavy.

The nature of your work means some part of you needs to hold hope that we can right this ship, but you’re burnt out. You fear nothing can really change enough in time to make a difference. You wonder if the planet will be around for your children, or if you should have children at all. It is exhausting to carry this existential fear and grief and be misunderstood by others at best, or at worst have it outright dismissed as a hoax.

Your regular experiences of climate anxiety and grief make sense.

Those reactions offer honest wisdom and connection to the earth around us. But those emotions are only part of the story. We can expand your emotional vocabulary beyond the climate anxiety/fear/despondent loop. You don’t have to choose between living in constant despair or living in denial about climate issues. Together we will identify where you have felt successful making change in the world, and workshop the areas that are not working for you. We’ll identify and develop your ecological narrative, creating a timeline and landscape of places, creatures, and other cultural pieces of inspiration that keep you connected to nature and earth keeping.

At the end of our work together, you’ll have a solid sense of your values in life and a sense for when you feel most integrated.

In the face of triggering moments, you’ll have the tools ground yourself, hold hope for yourself and this work, and sustain the energy to continue moving forward. 

You do important work in caring for the world, it’s time to learn new ways of caring for yourself, too.
