There is a special place in the underworld for those who promote anxiety, desperation, and terror in the most vulnerable. A place where the infernal warmth is particularly torrid. And one does not have to spend much time looking for candidates for this netherworld—the front page of the many newspapers will do fine, reports Charles Rotter. 1
Among certain vulnerable people, talk of eco-grief and anxiety has become signs of psychological crises. In Seattle, The University of Washington Bothell has entire classes given over to eco-grief, and non-profits like Climate Action Families have sessions for folks who are paralyzed with fear and grief over climate change. Some local Seattle therapists are specializing in climate grief therapy, and even the UW has sessions for students.
