"As climate records tumble and wildfires rage, people all over the planet are
feeling the toll.
Negative emotional responses such as anger, fear, sadness and despair recorded
in children and young people are also felt by climate scientists. But positive
emotions such as hope are also part of the picture.
Anxiety is a natural response to these conflicting emotions. The consequences
range from trouble sleeping, to difficulty working and socialising. Climate
anxiety can also exacerbate or trigger other mental health problems.
In our new research, we explored using group therapy to create a safe space for
scientists to share their feelings. Such safe spaces are vital for people to
understand and process their emotions and ultimately find the strength and
resilience to continue their important work."
