BioWild Psychology Fixes What's Wrong With Talk Therapy | Dean Hall

from Uncommon Living: A Dialogue in Human Resilience · host Thomas P Seager, PhD

Dean Hall returns to the Uncommon Living podcast to share how his experiences as a cancer patient and survivor have reshaped him as a trauma therapist. This interview with Thomas Seager, PhD describes Hall's disillusionment with traditional talk therapy, and the realization that he must stay more closely connected to Nature to manage the health risks of feeling being connected to his clients. Hall's proposes a new method, called BioWild Psychology, for treating what he calls "Synthetic Living Syndrome" -- i.e., ill health resulting from a chronic exposure to florescent lights, disrupted sleep patterns, and failure to ground (earth), and disconnection from the natural environment.
