Healing with Nature
by Susan S. Scott
When a serious back injury forced psychotherapist Susan Scott to abandon her office chair, she found that she had to either walk with her patients or give up her practice altogether.
Taking her sessions outside the confines of the office, Scott discovered new dimensions in therapy, as she and her patients found that the struggles of the trees, birds, seals, and other elements of nature offered a healing mirror.
Filled with practical lessons, Healing with Nature makes an inspiring read for anyone interested in spiritual growth and the healing power of what lies outside of one’s own front door.

Reviews
“How to describe this extraordinary book! Susan Scott’s stunning photographs, her lovingly attentive verbal descriptions of woods
like those I and my dogs walk in each morning has enabled me to notice the amazing stories embedded in the beautiful and miraculous pattern of growth of this cedar or that fir, as it has responded to the particular challenges of its immediate setting and life history. She helps us see how our lives--her own, those of her patients and friends, mine--are informed by the same natural patterns, exhibit the same fierce resilience, the same quiet coming to terms.”
– Christine Downing, Ph.D. Goddess
“Healing With Nature is an inspirational book that gives depth insight into the heart of healing. Beautifully written, the book shows how the simple act of walking in nature can be a profound healing process available to everyone. Susan Scott shares her own story of healing a painful back injury, along with other people’s stories of healing somatic and psychological illnesses. She shows us a way to heal our wounds as we learn to be with the healing gifts of nature.”
– Linda Leonard, Ph.D. Call To Create
“Extending the concept of the ‘wounded healer’ to include nature itself, psychotherapist and poet Susan Scott gives us a book that’s original, provocative, congenial, and above all, useful. If you want new ideas about what psychotherapy can be, read Healing with Nature.”
– Jeff Kane, MD, author, How to Heal: A Guide for Caregivers
