[Episode 76 of The Intentional Clinician podcast]
Dr. James Liter, Ph. D. joins Paul Krauss MA LPC on the Intentional Clinician Podcast to discuss several elements of Ecotherapy and Ecopsychology. This episode is a fantastic place to start if you’re interested in how the natural world and ecopsychological notions connect.
Also covered: oikos, psychology, logos, habitat, the unconscious, climate change, eco-grief, and more. Why people would want to try ecotherapy, why we need natural experiences to evolve into full human beings, why people try ecopsychology, Carl Jung, transference, counter-transference, humans as part of nature, and more.
Ecotherapy’s many faces: I want to feel more connected to myself and the natural world; I sought an alternative to counseling; and I wanted to know how ecotherapy could be beneficial in addition to regular psychotherapy.
How does one go about getting facilitated ecotherapy?
