Climate change is not just an environmental problem, it’s a human one. Yet as humans, we are not changing fast enough for ourselves and our planet. Our sense of powerlessness and the belief that our actions won’t make a difference is holding us back from taking action and working on the psychological dimension of change could make the difference to moving us forward. In this transformative book, climate change coaching trailblazers Charly Cox and Sarah Flynn explain why changing for our climate is so hard and why coaching offers a key to affecting behaviour. With practical, easy-to-grasp skills that shift mindsets and motivate action they show how to build connection using a coaching approach, to overcome resistance and empower people to embrace change. If people often tell you “What difference can I really make?” or “How can we possibly succeed?” then Climate Change Coaching will help you: •Understand the psychological barriers to change, and how to address them •Gain practical, connection-building skills to have more impact in every conversation •Build stronger, more trusting relationships to make long-term change more likely •Develop a new perspective on how individual change leads to systems change •Discover how to help organisations succeed at change and what creates social change •Learn to coach and support yourself to manage stress and avoid burnout Whether you are changing an organisation, engaging a community, or coaching individuals, this book will change the way that you connect and how you influence. With example conversations and real-life stories from 40 practitioners from the worlds of sustainability, business, academia and coaching, it will show you how coaching skills are being used individually and organisationally to galvanise climate action. “This practical guide fills many of the gaps, with tools that can help us become better allies to each other in supporting the personal and systemic shifts needed in our time.” Chris Johnstone, co-author of Active Hope and trainer at ActiveHope.Training “Climate Change Coaching is an invaluable resource for anyone working in sustainability today.” Patrick Burgi, Co-Founder of South Pole Charly Cox is an award-winning climate change coach and Founder of Climate Change Coaches.

Negative Thoughts Are Gaslighting You into a Downward Spiral: How to Stop Overthinking and Self-Doubt
The Beginning of the End of Negative Thoughts Have you ever felt like your own mind was your worst enemy? A relentless, churning machine of overthinking, endlessly replaying past mistakes, predicting future catastrophes, and whispering doubts in your ear? You're not alone. Millions of us are trapped in this same exhausting cycle, where negative thoughts become a form of self-sabotage, gaslighting us into a downward spiral of anxiety, fear, and inaction. It is as if we are stuck in a mental prison of our own making. Imagine waking up every morning feeling like your mind has already run a marathon. The constant churning of thoughts, the relentless "what ifs," and the nagging voice of self-doubt pull you into an exhausting cycle of overthinking, anxiety, and rumination. You’re not just battling your thoughts—you’re being manipulated by them. They whisper lies, inflate fears, and replay past mistakes like a never-ending highlight reel of failure. Negative thoughts aren’t just fleeting—they’ve become your captors, pulling you into a downward spiral that feels inescapable. But here’s the truth: Negative thoughts are gaslighting you. Yes, gaslighting. Just like a toxic person might distort your reality, your mind uses fear, worry, and self-criticism to manipulate your emotions. It convinces you that you're powerless, that you’re not enough, and that the worst-case scenario is inevitable. This mental manipulation leaves you second-guessing everything—your decisions, your capabilities, even your worth. And the more you try to reason with these thoughts, the louder they seem to get, pulling you deeper into the spiral of stress and emotional exhaustion. What’s the result? You lose hours obsessing over conversations, events, or choices, stuck in a loop of overthinking that saps your energy and joy. Your mind constantly replays past failures or invents catastrophic futures, leaving you trapped in rumination and paralyzed by anxiety. Instead of clarity, you feel overwhelmed. Instead of solutions, you find yourself consumed by worry. Stress takes over—not just in your mind but in your body, leaving you feeling heavy, tired, and disconnected. The truth is, your mind is a powerful tool, but when left unchecked, it can become a breeding ground for rumination and worry. It can convince you that you're not good enough, that you're going to fail, that every awkward silence or perceived slight is a reflection of your deepest flaws. These negative thoughts are insidious. They masquerade as truth, whispering insidious lies that erode your confidence and hold you hostage in your own head. They create an endless loop of "what ifs" and "should haves," trapping you in a state of perpetual unease. You may feel like you are stuck in a mental prison, with no way out. Why This Book is Different This isn’t just another self-help book filled with vague advice to “think positive” or “let it go.” Those phrases may sound good, but they’re not actionable when you’re in the grip of negative thoughts. This book is rooted in practical, evidence-based strategies drawn from psychology, neuroscience, and real-world experiences. You’ll discover tools that work—not by silencing your thoughts but by changing how you respond to them. This book is your lifeline. It's a roadmap to a different way of being, a way of relating to your thoughts that empowers you to live a richer, more fulfilling life. Within these pages, you'll discover proven strategies to stop negative thoughts in their tracks. You'll learn how to transform your relationship with your thoughts, recognizing them for what they are—just thoughts—and not letting them dictate your feelings or actions.
