Episode 399 - Reconnecting with Our Essential Nature with Mary Rothwell

When a plant in our care starts to struggle, we look at it with curiosity and care. We ask what it needs, more light, less crowding, different soil, and we adjust the conditions around it so it can recover.

In therapy, the out-of-the-box approach that humans can be like plants can help us understand ourselves with more compassion. We explore how knowing our own nature and the environment we thrive in shows us what to change in our relationships, our work, and our daily lives so we can start to flourish.
