Anxiety/Grief/Anger

Planet Earth needs support & so do we...

When we allow ourselves to sit with the truths of our current reality, we can feel anxious, overwhelmed, confused, paralyzed, angry, and grief-stricken. If not properly addressed, these can quickly lead to despair, hopelessness, and burnout. These responses are not signs of weakness or failure. They’re signs that you care—perhaps more deeply than you’ve ever been able to show.

The BestQuest approach to climate feelings therapy is thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded in your unique experience. We’ll explore your specific emotional responses and coping strategies, and work together to understand how they intersect with your core beliefs, values, and goals. This isn’t about ignoring the harsh truths. It’s about facing them with care, clarity, and support. We also hold space for the bigger picture: The deep interconnectedness between living beings, the inherent creativity and resilience of life, and the brutal honesty of where we are—well past the “point of no return” in many respects. That acknowledgment can come with a real sense of hopelessness, and yet even in that space, meaning, connection, and agency are still possible.

You can read more in our blog post, Feeling Our Dying Planet, where I explore the emotional and existential weight of ecological collapse—and how we might move through it with integrity and courage.

This Work Can Support You To:

  • Understand and work through difficult emotional responses to climate change
  • Build psychological resilience and reduce emotional paralysis
  • Connect with your values and sense of purpose—even in uncertain times
  • Navigate conversations, relationships, or activism with more stability
  • Come back to your body, your communities, and a deeper sense of connection with the planet

If you’re feeling the emotional weight of climate change, that makes sense. You are not broken—you are awake.You’re Not Alone. And You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone.
