Presence Activism: A Profound Antidoe to Climate Anxiety

by Lynne Sedgmore Author

One dynamic that comes up often when becoming informed on climate issues is that it takes strong emotional regulation skills to keep going and not fall into despair. This book and its author tackle many issues when it comes to self-care that is mindful of the environment, the activism, the reader’s values and goals, as well as their contributions to making change — but above all fighting what the author calls Climate Anxiety, in a time when the stakes rapidly become more apparent and change seems to be at a slow crawl. This book has compiled different perspectives and efforts on the different fronts of climate activism, different sources of insight from different fronts on the fight for climate justice, that will share with the reader coping mechanisms, responses, rest, and discovering one’s activist potential and fulfilling it.
