Eco-Grief and Eco-Anxiety Therapy - Edmonton Psychologists

Eco-Grief is described as feelings of distress over natural and man-made events that result in environmental loss of ecosystems. Eco-grief is also observed through our ever-growing disconnection with nature. Symptoms of Eco-grief have been growing steadily over the past several years. Along with feelings associated with grief, eco-grief also increases anxiety and fear about future concerns which we describe as eco-anxiety. To simplify that eco-grief is feelings of distress around what is already lost and eco-anxiety is fear about the environmental decline if our future. You can experience one or the other or both.

Some areas of focus in eco-grief and eco-anxiety therapy:

• Fear of future environmental loss

• Distress around climate crisis

• Fatalistic thinking

• Anger and frustration around lack of social movement towards improving or reducing the decline of our environment

• Conflict in personal relationships around climate crisis

• existential dread

• Intrusive and obsessive thoughts

• Guilt or shame

• post-traumatic stress

• Grief and loss

• Feeling disconnected from nature
