"As more and more people become aware of the reach of climate change, the need for attuned and evidenced support increases. Kennedy-Woodward and Kennedy-Williams perfectly timed, and much needed book offers a clear and accessible text to help readers understand the range of emotional responses, refrain from pathologising these in anyway and find ways to move from anxiety to action. Sadly, this book is likely to become more and more important as time goes on" - Professor Martin Milton, Chair of Division of Counselling Psychology Climate and Environmental Crisis workstream (British Psychological Society), author of The Personal is Political: Stories of Difference and Psychotherapy
