    <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://planetsave.com/files/2007/12/melissapickett1.jpg" title="melissapickett1.jpg"><img src="http://go635254.s3.amazonaws.com/planetsave/files/2007/12/melissapickett1.jpg" alt="melissapickett1.jpg" /></a>More and more people are showing up at their therapists these days with signs of what is called eco-anxiety, or fear concerning environmental issues.  Santa Fe, NM therapist Melissa Pickett says this unrest has been growing in the last two years, and  may be the tip of the iceberg.</p>
<p>Michael d&#8217;Estries wrote about Melissa in <a href="http://michaeldestries.greenoptions.com/2007/05/16/feeling-shaky-worried-depressed-you-might-just-need-an-eco-therapist/">May</a>, and I had the occasion to interview her recently about this issue, and the field of eco-psychology.  You can hear the interview at <a href="thelindbergreport.org/2007/12/03/have-ecoanxiety--you-probably-do-but-theres-help.aspx">The Lindberg Report</a>.</p>
<p>Melissa spent several years in the corporate world as a banking executive and trainer for a marketing firm.  In an effort to sharpen her people skills, she went back to school and earned a Masters Degree in Counseling.  Finding the field personally rewarding, she shifted her business emphasis from organizational development to private counseling.</p>
<p>Melissa has been in practice since 2000, and is President of <a href="www.soulwayscenter.com/">Soulways Center for Conscious Evolution</a>.  The first signs of eco-anxiety emerged in sessions with her clients on a large scale within the past two years, and it appears to be growing.  Her work has led to interviews on Canadian television, in <a href="http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1654087,00.html">TIME</a> Magazine&#8217;s online edition, and publications in Spain and Brazil.</p>
<p>What is eco-anxiety?  How do we know if we have it, and what can we do to ease the discomfort?  My podcast interview with Melissa is <a href="http://thelindbergreport.org/2007/12/03/have-ecoanxiety--you-probably-do-but-theres-help.aspx">HERE</a>&#8230;</p>
