Ecopsychology
According to Theodore Roszak (one of the founders in the field), ecopsychology is derives from our straying from the natural world. Specifically, since the industrial revolution of the mid-twentieth century we have increasingly relied on technology and separated from our natural environments. Depression, anxiety & our traumatic past can be crippling to our ability to find hope for a better life. At gokc, we believe that when we intentionally connect with nature we are better equipped to connect with our selves, others & our natural world around us.
