Anxiety or Fears
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
The pressure to 'be' something in the world can be overwhelming. Add to that the distress of what's happening in our ecosystem and, through that lens, having anxiety absolutely makes sense.
When it comes to the climate crisis, feelings such as anxiety, guilt, terror, grief, anger, despair and helplessness are not something to be fixed or cured. They are healthy, appropriate responses. They show that you care.
My experience is that anxiety and fear often come from needing, but not being able, to predict the future. And the fear of the fear itself can be debilitating. It doesn't have to be that way.
We work to bring your body on board so that your mind can take a break from its catastrophic thought cycles. Bringing the body on board also helps to build your supports and your ground and to soothe your weary mind.

Karen Seinor
Counsellor/Therapist, MACA
Stress doesn’t just happen instantaneously, it is a series of events, reactions and actions, which all build on each other. Sometimes I talk to clients about a truck travelling on the highway. As the journey starts there is nothing much in the trailer, but as the journey continues, the trucker picks up various loads until the vehicle is just about carrying its maximum load and it can continue on the highway for a long time like this – travelling along with a heavy load but within the legal limit. What happens next is usually just a minor addition to the load – something tiny that in and of itself is irrelevant but is just enough to tip the scale so that the vehicle is now travelling over the recommended tonnage. Once overloaded, there is more pressure on the tyres, the truck can pick up too much speed going downhill – there are various systems that don’t work as quickly easily or effectively as they would under ‘normal’ circumstances. And this is pretty much what can happen to us. So although there can be a very major or significant event that creates a big stress load, most times, stress builds up over time.
When working with clients, and in my own self work, I have found it makes change much easier to achieve, with smaller steps.

When thinking about treatment options lets take a triage approach like a medic might when faced with a medical problem. That is to say start with physical causes and supports, moving then to chemical and then on to emotional and social factors. It is possible to manage stress & anxiety.
