dc.description.abstract | The presenting research examines the experiences of eleven mental health professionals who have embraced nature in order to heal from vicarious trauma. The analysis was conducted through a phenomenological hermeneutic approach and a transpersonal lens was utilized to interpret the themes according to Wilbur’s Spectrum of Consciousness (1986). The themes that emerged from the participants’ journeys were organized into three phases: Setting the Stage, The Wild Plunge, and The Profound Shift. The two most elaborate themes that emerged were centered on mindfulness and a sense of connection and belongingness experienced in nature. | en_US |
