Treating ‘Eco-Anxiety’: The Power of Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy

Eco-anxiety is an overwhelming sense of impending environmental doom and a chronic fear for the future state of the planet and future generations. 
I see the rising tide of ‘eco-anxiety’ now regularly within my clinic. Serendipitously, it brings together both my environmental and therapy expertise.

The presentation will cover:
  • Understanding eco-anxiety – Cognitive Behavioural and metacognitive models
  • Dysfunctional coping strategies – what behaviour maintains and enhances eco-anxiety?
  • The power of Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and the ‘cognitive-behavioural’ approach
