This review is from: The Healing Earth: Nature's Medicine for the Troubled Soul (Paperback)

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, spiritual seeker and avid outdoors person and I have been looking for a way to bring these aspects together. Phillip Sutton Chard's book "The Healing Earth" has shown me the way. Chard not only applies psychological insight to the practice of psychotherapy but actually uses nature as the "therapist." His case studies illustrate how nature has the power to heal and change our lives, validates our own experiences and empowers us to use the natural world in the practice of psychotherapy. Chard's book redefines "sanity" as if the whole world mattered.

This review is from: The Healing Earth: Nature's Medicine for the Troubled Soul (Paperback)

In nearly thirty years as a clinical psychologist and therapist, I learned quickly not to recommend books. I found the self-help volumes to be frustrating and confusing as they offered generalities, platitudes and panaceas, while the more directive books tended to be pedantic, presumptuous and preposterous.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. HIGHLY AND WITHOUT RESERVATION OR EQUIVOCATION.

The author successfully sings the song of human life. The effort allows readers to more fully see themselves, to more fully appreciate both their uniqueness and their commoness and to begin an exploration of healing and growth through the natural connections and processes available to us all.

Buy this book, borrow this book, steal this book. Somehow acquire the experience for yourself. Begin to accept. Begin to change. Begin to live. Do it now.
