The weight of global heating, catastrophic climate change, and the devastating impact on ecosystems and the rapid extinction of species loom large over us all. For the counselors, psychotherapists, psychologists, coaches, and their supervisors who comprise the talking therapy professions, these pressing issues are becoming more prevalent in their work. They must navigate the emotional responses of their clients and communities, including fear, anger, denial, grief, helplessness, and hopelessness, while also addressing their own emotions.

The chapters in this thought-provoking, honest, moving, and sobering book delve into the frameworks, theoretical constructs, and approaches developed to hold onto hope and foster agency in the face of this immense complexity, uncertainty, and injustice. Contributors from diverse cultural backgrounds and professional disciplines explore our interconnectedness with the natural world, indigenous practices, and understandings, acknowledging our betrayal of future generations, strategies for persevering in the face of despair, maintaining well-being during challenging times, rekindling hope, practicing deep adaptation coaching, and much more.

This book offers valuable insights and practical strategies for those who work tirelessly to support and empower individuals and communities facing the challenges of our time. It serves as a testament to the resilience and creativity of the human spirit in the face of adversity and provides a roadmap for building a more sustainable and equitable future.
