This episode is a deep dive into healing what I call the "original trauma" — our collective disconnection from nature and ourselves. I talk with mental health expert Julie Brams about ecopsychology, forest therapy, and the emerging field she prefers to call Earth-centered psychology. We explore why modern psychology often misses this core disconnection and how reconnecting with the more-than-human world can be profoundly healing.If you’re ready to heal from disconnection and embrace your nature as nature, this conversation will light your path.Topics Covered about Earth-Centered Psychology➡️ The original trauma is our artificial separation from Earth, fueling much of human suffering.➡️ Ecopsychology and Earth-centered psychology focus on repairing this disconnect through nature-based practices.➡️ Forest therapy is about nature leading the healing, with guides facilitating connection, not control.➡️ Rediscovering embodied sensing beyond words helps us reconnect deeply, even amid modern technology.➡️ Julie’s book The Nature-Embedded Mind invites us to explore a new way of thinking that can heal ourselves and the planet.Chapters00:00 Opening – Meeting the original wound08:04 Nature, Zen, and trauma therapy16:04 Dismantling the dominance model in therapy24:18 Listening with full-body perception32:25 Embracing darkness and shadow work40:29 Reconnection in a modern world48:29 The trauma of systemic gaslighting55:45 The Nature Embedded Mind (book)01:01:47 Collective healing is possibleResources Mentioned 🌱 Julie Brams' Work🌱 The Nature Embedded Mind: How the Way We Think Can Heal Our Planet and Ourselves US  - UK🌱 Plant Wisdom Book Club🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //   // Shop from EcoConscious Partners //More PartnersOpening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube

I've been reflecting deeply on wildness—not as chaos, but as a core intelligence that’s been buried under all the roles, rules, and routines we’ve been taught to follow. In this solo episode, I explore what it really means to reclaim that wild essence—not by breaking everything down, but by building a life that can actually hold it.Drawing wisdom from plant kin like cattail and aspen, I share how movement, presence, and relational flow can reconnect you to your true nature. When you stop trying to fit into systems that were never designed for you, you begin to create the kind of internal structure that sustains you—emotionally, creatively, spiritually.This is about stepping out of survival mode and into something more nourishing. Your wildness isn’t the thing holding you back—it’s the guide showing you how to grow.Topics Covered about Reclaiming Your Wildness➡️ Wildness is a relational force that guides authentic growth➡️ Plants like cattail and aspen model emotional presence and grounded adaptability➡️ Structure isn’t restriction—it’s the vessel that supports creative flow➡️ Reclaiming your wildness is key to building a life that sustains youChapters00:00 – Welcome & Why Wildness Matters07:30 – Facing the Fear of Your Own Wild Edge15:00 – Shadow Traits: Compasses, Not Enemies22:30 – Body Rhythms and Seasonal Flow30:00 – Boundaries as Riverbanks for Creative Power37:30 – Partnering with Plant Allies to Stay Grounded45:00 – Bringing Everyday Life Back Into the ForestResources Mentioned🌱 Spirit Wild Plant Quiz🌱 Mini Voyage with Spirit Wild Plants🌱 Seedling Sprouts (Naturally Conscious Community) 🌱 Personalized mentorship with me and the PlantsExpanded Show Notes ☝🏽ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast Ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways plants help you lead a Naturally Conscious life.Subscribe here and on your favorite podcast player.👉🏽 Join the Naturally Conscious Community to nourish human-plant relationships// Get to Know Me, Tigrilla //// Let's Work Together //   // Shop from EcoConscious Partners // GAIA More Partners Opening and Closing music by @Cyberinga  and Poinsettia.// Let's Connect on Social // Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube
