Ecopsychology is based around the intrinsic connection between our inner world and ecology. An online forum created by The International Community for Ecopsychology (ICE) explores ecopsychology as the ‘synergistic relation' between nature and the personal well being of the individual, suggesting ‘the needs of the one are relevant to the other.'
It is a fascinating area of psychotherapy and one that seems to have taken on board the massive task of healing on every level - the troubled mind and the aching rainforests. The planet we see changing before our eyes is having significant impact on the human psyche. It is perhaps THE psychological reality of our time.
