Our relationship to the natural world is closely linked to our psychological and physical wellbeing. Despite this, a dilemma remains for therapeutic practitioners as to how we might engage with the evidence that abounds and what our practice/s might look like if we take this knowledge on board. By using a metaphor of a safari, this article reflects on the therapeutic disciplines and their relationships to the natural world both as it has been and as it may be evolving. By using the perspective of ecopsychology, this article introduces relevant research and literature that may be helpful in beginning a journey that integrates this knowledge into therapeutic practice.
