Ecopsychologist holds an experiential space allowing one's story through the mind-body-earth connection. These stores express through our bodies as health or dis-ease. All accounts have joys, growth, and trauma. It's the stories of trauma that dysregulate the mind-body-earth connection leaving our system fragmented and affecting health, relationships, and our life experience as a whole. This perspective reveals the critical fact that people are intimately connected with, embedded in, and inseparable from the rest of nature. Grasping this fact deeply shifts our understanding of how to heal the human psyche and the currently dysfunctional and even lethal human-nature relationship.   

Ecopsychology is a very new social and intellectual movement that strives to understand and harmonize people's relationship with the Earth, bring health to the whole being. Ecopsychologists examine the psychological processes that bond us with and alienate us from nature. In a nutshell, eco-based psychology integrates psychological insights with the grassroots environmental movement. This new field goes beyond individual healing to encompass a broad cultural scope of redefining and re-imagining society's current relationship with mother nature.
