ISBN: \u200e<\/strong> 978-1529902648<\/strong><\/p>\n There is a lot to draw from \u2013 here are some of my highlights.<\/p>\n What I like about the book is that the author is a trained geologist and a practising therapist. Her enthusiasm for these two areas and their connections shines through. She also writes coherently about deep time through her understanding of geology. I find this so helpful as I feel part of a bigger whole and so many of my self made dramas fade into insignificance.<\/p>\n There is an emphasis on movement and being in the body through the book \u2013 something I that I find helpful to deal with anxiety. Through movement, I find that my anxiety can dissipate and my body awareness can take me away from my tendency to catastrophise.<\/p>\n And finally, the author says that people come to therapy not to be fixed but to be blessed in their brokenness. Maybe that\u2019s not always true but I find this a helpful reminder that acceptance can be a key part of healing.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Weathering<\/em> feels like an anchor for anyone who feels tossed around by the winds of change, and a reminder that like the Earth, we too are resilient, cyclical, and always in motion. Ruth Allen offers not quick fixes but deep companionship \u2013<\/strong> and that may be the most hopeful wisdom of all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ebury Press, 2025 ISBN: \u200e 978-1529902648 Reviewed by Ian […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7,12,15,17,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gaia","category-health-and-wellbeing","category-philosophy","category-psychology","category-science","category-spirituality"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenspirit.org.uk\/bookreviews2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenspirit.org.uk\/bookreviews2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenspirit.org.uk\/bookreviews2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenspirit.org.uk\/bookreviews2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenspirit.org.uk\/bookreviews2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3860"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenspirit.org.uk\/bookreviews2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3863,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenspirit.org.uk\/bookreviews2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3860\/revisions\/3863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenspirit.org.uk\/bookreviews2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenspirit.org.uk\/bookreviews2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenspirit.org.uk\/bookreviews2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\n<\/em><\/strong>This book is about how we navigate life’s storms \u2013 <\/strong>not just metaphorically, but also in deep connection with the Earth. Drawing on her experience as an eco-psychotherapist and outdoor guide, the author invites us to explore the interwoven relationship between our inner landscapes and the natural world around us.<\/p>\n
