# Climate grief & anxiety The crisis we find ourselves in can cause us very real and painful emotions such as grief, hopelessness and anxiety. ### Telephone Active Listening Extinction Rebellion has a Trained Emotional Support Network (TESN). You can make a request to speak with a trained and vetted Rebel Active Listener by emailing Rebel2Rebel@tesn.uk **(Please note that this is not a counselling service.)** Watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di-Ha7pd3lU&feature=youtu.be) to learn more (2 mins) ### Counselling or Psychotherapy The [Climate Psychology Alliance (CPA)](https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/index.php/find-support) provides a list of Practitioners offering three free sessions of therapeutic support to activists. **(Please note that the practitioners have not been formally vetted so it is up to you to confirm their suitability.)** *** If you have a query about either of these services you can email xr-tesn@tesn.uk. TESN are not involved in any actions, but if you feel the information you wish to share is particularly sensitive please use XR-TESN@Protonmail.com instead.
