26: Feedback Wanted for My Upcoming Book on Nature-Based Pediatric Therapy!

Today's episode is a little bit different! I'm writing a book on nature-based pediatric therapy and after reviewing the outline, I realized I'd love to know what YOU would like to see in this book. What are the things that would help you the most if you're interested in this topic or in running a nature-based practice?

In the episode, I share a little history on how and why I'm writing this book, but I mainly want some feedback from you. I'll be focusing on my ConTiGO approach and my ECO-Therapy model (from my dissertation research). The intended audience will be occupational, physical, and speech therapists, and also mental health counselors and social workers.

I'm really looking forward to your comments and I'm excited to get this book written and out into the world.

We'll discuss:

• [00:00] My request for your feedback and a little background on my publishing journey so far
• [03:55] What the book will be about and my rough outline
• [07:08] The ConTiGO approach I developed in 2019 and my eco therapy model
• [08:41] Who this book is primarily geared towards
• [10:36] My desire for this book to be equal parts practice and business and why
