Provide us with a short back story of the client. Note: it helps to consider people in your life to create this scenario.<div>

I have neighbors and old college classmates that I have mentioned what I was studying. A few of them have expressed interest in being a practice client of mine. The one client I’ll be mentioning today is a customer and…

Overall, I believe I am still learning and just graduating from the program does not mean it’s over. At first I had the intention to complete this program and ICF within a year. But now my goal is to make it a 2 year program to really learn as much as possible and keep up with updates. I have a vision on where I’m going with this and how this…

When I first started I originally thought I was going to perhaps open my own private practice, however things have changed as I continued in the program. I realized my background and skillset would actually encourage me to work in a corporate or organization environment. I’ve already been asked by numerous companies to reach out to them once I f…

Hi Lilia,

I really like the comparison to zoom and in person. It has taken be awhile to really accept you can have nature connection through zoom. However, I still much prefer in person. I believe zoom is a great tool in todays world, but human connection in real life is almost biologically integrated in our system. The ICF competencies you…

Overall, I am still learning threshold and the severance process. I don’t feel this is something I will totally get in a short time or even a long time. But this entire process is a learning process and I look forward in learning more! ITs really nice how I’ve been applying these techniques in daily situations and not just client situations.

Hi Julie, I really enjoyed how you started off mentioning its exciting and yet nerve wracking hitting threshold. I myself have always been the mentor and never really experienced a threshold myself in a sense. So when I start feeling this threshold experience it can be exhilarating and yet uncomfortable. This unknown territory however is important…

In order to be an effective coach, one must have some sense of what a threshold feeling feels like, sounds like, and looks like. It can be a very recognizable thing to notice someone stepping into threshold. When I personally start stepping into threshold, I know I’m getting somewhere. I then take notice how I feel what my body is doin and s…

Hi Erin,

I really enjoyed the most how you connected human consciousness and nature. I feel this is the bread and butter of what were trying to do. The human consciousness is where the deep seeded desires we have and this is where real change will occur. Perhaps to tap that consciousness, nature is the only way to really open the door. The science…

Overall,

Ecopsychology and Nature connection go hand in hand. We must learn the psychology behind nature connection and why it works. Nature truly has the answers to everything because in essence we ourselves have the answers were looking for. We just need to slow down our lives to see the answer. Nature helps us slow down and really take a second…

Hi Julie,

I really enjoyed how you breakdown the simlilarities between Ecopsychology and Nature coaching. Coaching is the action of Ecopsychology and this means they go hand in hand. Again, there is so much science proving these theories and how nature truly heals. But at the same time the science can makes things complicated for people who are…

Hi Lilia,

Its hard to respond to such a detailed response! The science behind what we are doing is important to know, but like how you mentioned in the beginning, I did not come from a psychology or therapy background either. Educating someone and guiding someone can go hand in hand. But I wonder where do we draw the line? Where and how does one…

Finally got ahold of how this new EBI website works. Im a little late!!

When talking about Ecopsychology and coaching, I feel its basically definitions overlapping each other. Ecopyschology is like the science between nature and human connection. The science proves there is strong connection between nature and humans and were slowly losing that…
