What is ecopsychology?
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.
