Show Notes

Hosted by Ania Wiktorowitz, Created by Mari Feher

We all have a connection to nature and the mountains. It is unavoidable to experience some stress, trauma or even loss and grief while you are on your favourite pitch or route. How do you cope when you are under stressors? Do you have the necessary tools to overcome this experience  or the need to reach out to your community for help? If you ever felt you are alone feeling anxious on a climb and you must be the only one that experiences fear while your partners do not have a shread of doubt, think again. This episode will be very helpful to understand the natural element of fear and how to accept it.
Your guide, Tiffany McClean is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, PMHNP, LPC  and a therapist at Climbing Grief Fund, a fantastic support organized by the American Alpine Club.
