In this March 2023 episode of the Owning It podcast, climate psychology expert Caroline Hickman discusses how the climate crisis affects our mental health.

Just a few decades ago, only environmental activists and scholars were talking about climate change. It felt like a distant threat compared to everything else that was wrong with the world.

Today, as extreme weather events and biodiversity loss are becoming increasingly evident, more people are realizing just how much damage we have done to the planet.

Hosted by bestselling author and journalist Caroline Foran, the Owning It podcast helps listeners understand and handle feelings of anxiety.

In this episode from March 2023, Foran talks to social worker and climate psychology expert Caroline Hickman about eco-anxiety — the overwhelming and very real fear of environmental collapse.
