Podcast appearances and mentions of caroline hickman

Rising global temperatures are already impacting human health through increases in heat-related illnesses, worsening air quality, and extending the spread of infectious diseases. But a new survey suggests that most Americans haven't yet felt this connection in their own lives or seen it in their own communities. That might be changing, though — and soon — according to a new report led by Julia Fine and Joshua Ettinger, researchers at the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication.This episode uses audio from the following three UnDisciplined episodes: Heidi Honegger Rogers, Caroline Hickman and Tarik Benmarhnia.

In addition to being a lecturer at the University of Bath, Dr. Caroline Hickman has a background in mental health social work and has worked closely with a number of community mental health projects. Her background lends itself to her unique focus on examining the impacts of climate change on mental health and anxiety, particularly eco-anxiety and distress, eco-empathy, trauma, moral injury and the impact of climate anxiety on relationships. She joins Next Steps Forward host Chris Meek to discuss her 2021 quantitative global study into 10,000 children and young people's emotions and thoughts about climate change, the range of therapeutic approaches she is working to develop in response to ecological distress and why climate change anxiety must be treated differently than other anxieties.

Smartphones are bad for the mental health of children and adolescents. At least, that's the popular perception that has led to calls for smartphones to be banned for children under a certain age, with numerous media reports drumming home the narrative that smartphones are damaging a generation. But the evidence for a link between smartphones and poor mental health is surprisingly weak, and smartphones also have uses that can be beneficial to children and adults alike. Claudia Hammond talks to Dr Amy Orben, who leads the digital mental health group at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at the University of Cambridge. As well as her own research, she's reviewed huge numbers of studies on the topic and says that the panic around smartphones mirrors previous panics about other technologies such as the radio. So how do we allow children to become part of the digital world while also keeping them safe?Claudia is joined in the studio by clinical psychologist Linda Blair, who brings along a new research paper on what it means to get a diagnosis for a mild mental health problem. Diagnostic labels can legitimise help-seeking and boost empathy, but they can also encourage the view that mental health problems are persistent and discourage the idea that you can overcome them.Climate anxiety is a fairly new label, and we hear from a group of people in Fife about how climate change is affecting them emotionally. Claudia then speaks to Caroline Hickman, a psychotherapist who works with climate activists and researches the psychological effects of climate change on young people. Human beings have an amazing capacity for resilience, but most of the problems we have faced in history have had a solution. How do we cope with a crisis that does not have a solution and contains multiple uncertainties?

#263Anxiety. We've all felt it – some worse than others. But what exactly causes anxiety and why are some of us more likely to be hit by it? Science is finally unpacking the ins and outs of this evolutionary response.Whether you experience anxiety getting on a plane or when doing something out of your comfort zone, understanding why it happens is the best way to take control of it.In this special episode, New Scientist journalists and expert guests look at the phenomenon of anxiety. What is happening inside the brain when anxiety kicks in? Why do we need to better understand our own internal, bodily processes to fight anxiety? How much of our tendency towards anxiety is down to genetics?And they bring actionable advice too, including simple, science-backed lifestyle changes you can make to become less anxious, plus the surprising reasons anxiety can actually be a good thing – and how to make it work for youHost Christie Taylor discusses with guests Alexis Wnuk, Eleanor Parsons, Sahib Khalsa, David Robson, Caroline Hickman and Todd Kashdan, with additional reporting from Helen Thomson, Graham Lawton and Bethan Ackerley.

Thomas and Panu spoke with Judith Anderson and Tree Staunton, two therapists and co-editors (along with Jenny O'Gorman and Caroline Hickman) of the recent collection Being a Therapist in a Time of Climate Breakdown. The foursome explored their experiences of mental health, research and healing work in the context of climate change and the psychologicals impact of climate distress. Tree and Judith shared their personal journeys towards climate awareness.  The episode included an overview of the structure and themes of the book, which includes chapters on climate science, mental health impacts, first person accounts, systemic understandings, and techniques to address climate distress (including a contribution on climate sorrow from Panu).

Thomas and Panu had a new dialogue with UK Climate Therapy expert Caroline Hickman to discuss the concept of moral injury in relation to climate distress and its impact on people's sense of meaning and trust. The conversation delved into feelings that arise in situations where one's values are compromised and the impacts to relationships (e.g., feeling let down, betrayed, or having feelings denied). Caroline emphasized the need to differentiate between toxic and healthy guilt, to “locate guilt where it belongs,” and the importance of reparation and saying sorry on the part of people in power (with the example of former New Zealand Prime Minister  Jacinta Arden). Panu noted that engaging in a survivor mission and taking action can provide a sense of purpose and contribute to addressing moral injury. Join us for reflections on responsibility and healing amidst a changing climate.

Psychiatrist and activist Dr. Lise Van Susteren joins to discuss her pioneering work in understanding and managing the mental health risks associated with "climate anxiety." Show notes from Chris: The heartbreaking 2021 global survey on ‘Climate anxiety in children and young people and their beliefs about government responses to climate change' was led by Caroline Hickman at the University of Bath and is freely available from The Lancet by clicking here. There is a wealth of amazing online resources that show how to turn anxiety into meaningful action.

Thomas and Panu were joined by UK therapist and researcher Caroline Hickman. Caroline reflected on her formerly separate backgrounds as an environmentalist and a psychotherapist and pivotal nature experiences she had in midlife as a diving instructor that brought “all the parts of her life together." Caroline, Panu and Thomas discussed their recent activities and collaborations including the groundbreaking 2021 Lancet global survey of young people's climate emotions in ten countries worldwide. This research was powerful, Caroline and Panu explained, as it revealed crucial underlying facets of climate anxiety in youth including a lack of faith in leaders and a sense of betrayal by adults. Caroline also told of her interview studies with children and the fact that kids often know and care more than adults notice. Join us for a candid conversation and an invitation to reflect on what climate feelings tell us about the needs of young people and adults around us.

SUMMARYHow can adults talks about climate change with children?This question is at the heart of this conversation between psychotherapist Caroline Hickman and host Verity Sharp.Caroline Hickman is a climate psychologist and teaching fellow at the University of Bath in England. In this thoughtful conversation, Hickman offers guidance to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, and all adults interacting with children. Hickman shares she sees anger over the climate emergency expressed more than eco-anxiety and speaks about supporting children instead of only talking to them. She also shares practical solutions and what she learned from her conversation with a six-year-old child when she asked the child how she wants adults to talk to her about serious topics.Useful ResourcesChildren & Climate Change by the Climate Psychology AllianceThe Carbon AlmanacCONTRIBUTORSSpecial Acknowledgment: Verity Sharp, Climate Crisis ConversationsRachael Webster, Climate Psychology AllianceSenior Producer: Tania MarienSupervising Producer: Jennifer Myers ChuaMusic: Cool Carbon Instrumental, Paul Russell, MusicbedEpisode Art: Jennifer Myers ChuaNetwork Voiceover: Olabanji Stephen

The impacts of the climate crisis are undeniably here. Heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and flooding are causing devastation around the world. And yet, we still aren't seeing the drastic action that's required to avert climate disaster. As things get worse, it's easy to give up hope – but ‘climate doomism' is just as dangerous as climate denial. Anand Jagatia speaks to psychotherapist Caroline Hickman about her research on climate anxiety, and how we can turn feelings of doom into positive action.

Opening your eyes to the immensity of the climate crisis can be incredibly frightening. So it's no coincidence that climate-related anxiety and distress are on the rise. Turns out there's a term for these feelings: eco-anxiety. In this episode, Arielle explores how naming, accepting, and understanding our eco-anxiety – and all sorts of eco-emotions for that matter – may be a critical component of making it through ecological catastrophe.They speak with Britt Wray, author of the forthcoming book, Generation Dread: Finding Purpose In An Age of Climate Crisis, climate activist Jennifer Uchendu, and climate psychotherapist Caroline Hickman.

Producers/Hosts: Jim Campbell and Amy Browne With assistance from Ann Luther and Matt Murphy This series is made possible in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission: In a previous program, we began looking at the effects of Climate Change on life in Maine, now and in the future, a topic that almost everyone mentioned who participated in our interest gathering efforts. Maine is the oldest state in the country, both in median age and in percentage of those over 55, but the people who are going to be dealing with the effects of Climate Change the longest are younger people. And climate change seems to be affecting many of them already. In December of 2021, The Lancet Planetary Health journal published the results of a survey of 10,000 people ages 16 to 25 year in ten countries. The authors found that “Respondents across all countries were worried about climate change (59% were very or extremely worried and 84% were at least moderately worried). More than 50% reported each of the following emotions: sad, anxious, angry, powerless, helpless, and guilty. More than 45% of respondents said their feelings about climate change negatively affected their daily life and functioning, and many reported a high number of negative thoughts about climate change (eg, 75% said that they think the future is frightening and 83% said that they think people have failed to take care of the planet). Respondents rated governmental responses to climate change negatively and reported greater feelings of betrayal than of reassurance.” On today's program, we talk with several younger people in Maine about their attitudes and expectations of the effects of climate change on their future. We spoke with two pairs of high school students. We will hear first from Joey and Edge, who are from two different schools in Washington County. We'll follow that conversation with one with Grace and Sophia, who are from the Mount Desert Island area of Hancock County. Finally, we hear from Hazel Stark, a Millennial, Registered Maine Guide, naturalist educator and cofounder of the Maine Outdoor School. She also hosts the Saturday morning short feature, The Nature of Phenology, here on WERU, co-produced with Joe Horn. The resources Hazel mentions include: iNaturalist , eBird , and Budburst She also recommends UMaine’s Signs of the Seasons: A New England Phenology Program and the USA National Phenology Network FMI: Maine’s Climate Future 2020 – a University of Maine report authored by Ivan Fernandez, Sean Birkel, Catherine Schmitt, Julia Simonson, Brad Lyon, Andrew Pershing, Esperanza Stancioff, George Jacobson, and Paul Mayewski.

In this edition of the Tes podcast, senior editor Simon Lock meets lecturer, researcher and climate-aware psychotherapist, Caroline Hickman, to discuss eco-anxiety, which she warns, is a growing mental health concern, especially prevalent among children and young adults.   In her latest research, Hickman asked 10,000 young people aged between 16 and 25 about their feelings towards climate change: 60 per cent reported saying they felt “very” or “extremely” worried about climate change, while 45 per cent of respondents said their feelings about climate change negatively affected their daily lives.    “We are overusing resources and we are failing to take care of our environment,” explains Hickman. “As you wake up to the increased ferocity of storms, the increased risks from flooding, increased risks from sea level rise, it makes perfect sense to feel anxious, worried [and] to feel scared.   “But anxiety is not the only emotion that we feel. It is the first one we feel because we feel threatened. But it develops into a whole mixture of other feelings including depression, anger, frustration, grief, guilt, shame.”  Hickman believes that it's vital that young people find a balance between acknowledging the climate crisis without letting it become overwhelming. So, what can schools do to ensure that concern for the environment does not boil over to become a serious mental health problem? Listen to the full interview in this edition of the Tes podcast. This podcast is sponsored by Greenpeace who have teamed up with Everyday Plastic to create The Big Plastic Count.  Right now, nobody really knows how much plastic we're having to throw away. There's simply too much of it, and recycling alone isn't going to solve the plastic problem. The Big Plastic Count will uncover the truth about how much household plastic we throw away in a week, and how much is really recycled. This new evidence will be crucial to convince the government, big brands and supermarkets to take ambitious action on reducing plastic packaging. Join hundreds of schools across the country taking part, with fully-resourced, cross-curricular classroom-based activities developed for 9-12 year olds, linking to citizenship, science, maths, English and geography.  Find out more at https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/kfJIC8qwjHYKZkQtnJ4Zg?domain=thebigplasticcount.com (thebigplasticcount.com/TES), and empower your pupils to be a part of driving real-world change.

The interconnectedness between the planet and human psychology is not necessarily a new idea, but conversations about it do need to be had more, especially as it relates to how humans can learn to cope psychologically with the existential threat that is the climate crisis. In previous episodes we've ventured into conversations about climate-anxiety and eco-grief. In this episode, we're digging a little deeper to discover what it means to embrace the biodiversity of emotions and to welcome radical hope into our lives with guest and eco-hero, Caroline Hickman. Caroline is lecturer at the University of Bath in social work and climate psychology, is a practicing ‘climate-aware psychotherapist', and has done extensive research on children and young people's relationships with nature and feelings about the climate and ecological crisis.  Follow Imperfect Eco-Hero on instagram at @imperfect_ecohero.

It's not just you. Considering that one in three Americans experienced a natural disaster this summer, it's no wonder that a majority of us admit to being anxious about climate change. As Arctic permafrost thaws and the Amazon burns, stress about the future is intensifying worldwide. According to a newly published global study, 75% of young people are frightened by climate change and over half believe humanity is doomed. In this episode, Caroline Hickman, a co-author of the study and a climate psychology researcher at the University of Bath, joins co-host Ray Suarez to discuss eco-anxiety—and how we can channel it into climate action.

Um estudo promovido por pesquisadores britânicos em 10 países revelou o peso psicológico da degradação ambiental em adolescentes e jovens. A pesquisa ouviu 10 mil pessoas, inclusive no Brasil, e apontou o quanto a falta de ação dos governos para enfrentar a crise climática acentua o sentimento de ansiedade e preocupação nas novas gerações. O estudo se apresenta como o maior já realizado sobre o tema e será publicado na revista científica Lancet Planetary Health, por pesquisadores da universidade de Bath, do Centro de Inovação em Medicina Stanford, a Fundação Saúde NHS de Oxford, entre outros. "A ansiedade climática não é uma doença mental. É uma resposta racional ao estresse psicológico da realidade das mudanças climáticas, e um tal nível de estresse pode provavelmente acabar impactando na saúde mental”, explica a psicóloga Elizabeth Marks, uma das autoras principais da pesquisa. "Quando perguntamos para eles como eles pensam o futuro das mudanças climáticas, eles descrevem um mundo cheio de oportunidades perdidas, assustador e inseguro.” "Por que viver num mundo que não se importa com as crianças?” Foram ouvidas pessoas de 16 a 25 anos, nos seguintes países: Reino Unido, Finlândia, França, Portugal, Estados Unidos, Austrália, Índia, Filipinas, Nigéria e Brasil. A pesquisa constatou que o sofrimento psicológico causado pela crise climática está “significantemente relacionado” com a falta de ação dos governos – ou seja, a angústia das crianças e jovens aumenta na medida em que os países se recusam a tomar medidas mais ambiciosas para conter o aquecimento do planeta. No total, 58% dos entrevistados disseram ter a sensação de estarem sendo “traídos" pelos seus governos e 61% acham que os governantes não estão protegendo a atual juventude, o planeta e as futuras gerações. Os que vivem nos países do sul, como Brasil e Filipinas, se mostram ainda mais angustiados com o problema. “Nós não sabíamos o quanto eles estão apavorados. Uma criança disse para mim: eu estou com medo de respirar o ar fora da minha casa. Quando iniciamos a pesquisa, sabíamos que a vida cotidiana deles estava sendo afetada por isso, mas não sabíamos o quanto estava abalando a alimentação, o sono, o estudo e as brincadeiras”, afirma a psicoterapeuta Caroline Hickman, a segunda autora principal. "E o que não sabíamos é o quanto esses sentimentos estão correlacionados com a ação ou a inação dos governos. Um adolescente britânico me disse: por que eu deveria querer viver num mundo que não se importa com as crianças, nem os animais?" Jovens sem planos de ter filhos Concretamente, o que a comunidade internacional espera atenuar hoje são as consequências dramáticas no clima previstas pelos cientistas para até o fim deste século. É por isso que um dos efeitos mais práticos desta angústia é o abandono dos planos de ter filhos. A brasiliense Valentina Ruas, de 18 anos, é uma dessas jovens que, a princípio, abrirá mão da maternidade. “Eu já não penso em ter filhos. É claro que o futuro é muito incerto, mas toda a vez que eu vejo notícias, artigos, eu penso que não quero pôr uma pessoa no mundo se eu não sei quão incerto esse futuro será. Se já é incerto para mim, imagina para as próximas gerações”, indica a jovem. O estudo concluiu que quase a metade dos entrevistados, 45%, afirmou que os pensamentos negativos em relação às mudanças climáticas afetam o seu cotidiano e 59% se disseram “muito" ou “extremamente" preocupados com a questão. A chamada “ansiedade climática” inclui sentimentos como medo, raiva, rancor, culpa e vergonha, mas também esperança. Valentina tem preferido olhar o problema sob esta perspectiva – e por isso decidiu agir, se engajando no movimento internacional Fridays for Future, fundado por jovens como a sueca Greta Thumberg. "Quando você se junta a um movimento e vê pessoas do seu lado trabalhando para que aquilo não aconteça, é uma coisa que te anima no sentido de dar uma esperança. Ajuda. É muito difícil pensar em algo concreto porque é muito incerto”, insiste. "A gente sabe que se nada for feito contra a crise climática, vai ser muito ruim, mas o quanto será ruim, eu de fato não sei. Então eu tento canalizar esse pensamento para fazer algo que evite esse cenário.” O estudo é lançado a menos de dois meses da próxima Conferência do Clima da ONU, a COP26, que acontecerá em novembro em Glasgow, na Escócia. O evento, que estava previsto para ser realizado em 2020, foi adiado devido à crise sanitária.

Anxiety about the climate is a serious and growing problem, in particular amongst young people. In Episode 8, Caroline Hickman from the Climate Psychology Alliance explores this phenomenon. She discusses how eco anxiety emerges, how it can affect learning, how it can be managed, and how language can act as a ‘safe space' where these anxieties can be addressed. In From the Field, we hear from Malaika, an incredible school in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is doing all it can to be self-sufficient and to embed climate responsibility in everything that it does, and how this can create resilience. The Green Glossary, meanwhile, focuses on the etymology of ‘fossil fuel', and considers the process of ‘register shift', that is, how the meaning of words can change over time.
