~ “psychology as if the whole earth mattered.”
Ecopsychologyis based on the fundamental notion that some of our anxiety and ills
come from living a lifestyle that has drifted away from its foundation
in nature connection, and being in a culture that has lost its way no
longer respectful of planet and ecology.
Connection with Earth: Core of Ecotherapy
Connection
with earth and its systems are at the core of eco-therapy.
Eco-therapists believe that the earth has a self-righting capacity
through complex systems of integrated balance, and that |

We're really blessed. Yes things seem to be getting tougher in many ways. But here in Michigan we have the best of all worlds. While other parts of the world and our country even, have been beset with horrible events with calamitous weather, Michigan remains overall mild in climate and with few problems such as the horrible fires in the west, impacts from major drought or flooding, hurricanes & mega storms. Michigan also has ample sources of fresh water being surrounded by our beautiful Great Lakes. |

While we go about our busy lives, living like busy bees, concerned with managing our livelihoods, nurturing family and friends, participating in our community, paying our bills and working toward a good future, all of which feel more challenging these days ~ We find the added challenge of living in a time when all of us, one way or another, are exposed to messages that suggest that from many angles our world is in jeopardy. Without much discussion or support, we're left to cope with and absorb the obvious emotional and psychological impacts of this understanding. |

Finding a good support group is a great way to become more focused and centered as the amount of quality support you have in your life greatly affects your balance and happiness. Support groups are an inexpensive way of making more connections and learning; also a great way to work on becoming your best self, getting some relief from feeling disconnected, and the symptoms this bring ~ and yet much less expensive than individual therapy.
Here are some of the support groups I'm currently offering. |
