"Healing with Nature is an inspirational book that gives depth and insight into the heart of healing. Beautifully written, the book shows how the simple act of walking in nature can be a profound healing process available to everyone." -Linda Leonard, Ph.D., author of Call to Create.
Susan S. Scott is an experienced psychotherapist who, due to a back injury, was forced to abandon her therapist's couch and walk for therapy. Through her extended strolls through nature, she discovered the ingenious ability of trees to grow around obstacles and, in essence, heal themselves. The result of Dr. Scott's musings is Healing with Nature. This collection of stories and photos describes a different aspect of the healing process, matched with a corresponding tree image. Readers will learn how to observe their natural environment with fresh eyes, tap into their own self-healing powers, and discover creative ways to become the master of their own lives. An inspiring read for anyone with an interest in spiritual growth!

“How to describe this extraordinary book! Susan Scott’s stunning photographs, her lovingly attentive verbal descriptions of woods
like those I and my dogs walk in each morning has enabled me to notice the amazing stories embedded in the beautiful and miraculous pattern of growth of this cedar or that fir, as it has responded to the particular challenges of its immediate setting and life history. She helps us see how our lives--her own, those of her patients and friends, mine--are informed by the same natural patterns, exhibit the same fierce resilience, the same quiet coming to terms.”

Connecting,
By Revel Mackenzie (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing with Nature (Paperback)
I was surprised and delighted at the depth of the author's observations. The writing style brings the reader into an honest and insightful connection with others and nature, especially trees.The reader feels part of the experience. After several chapters,I am curious why other therapists do not utilize this method of healing more often than not. Nature offers a safe and trusting environment for us to surrender our inner fears.
