Inhaltsangabe

What if the forest could teach you how to heal yourself?

Peeing in the Woods: A Self-Guided Therapy for Walking Yourself Home is not your typical self-help book. It’s an invitation to step into nature—and into yourself—with courage, humor, and compassion.

Drawing from principles of EMDR, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), existential therapy, and mindfulness, counselor-in-training Sam Kunkel guides you through a gentle process of healing while walking in the woods. This is not about quick fixes or positive thinking. It’s about learning how to stay with what’s uncomfortable, how to let go of what’s pressing, and how to build a steady relationship with your own mind.

Through grounded insights, guided “forest sessions,” and stories of transformation, Peeing in the Woods teaches you how to:
🌿 Process stuck memories and emotions using movement, breath, and bilateral focus
🌿 Reconnect with your body and your environment as anchors of safety
🌿 Build exposure-based courage to face anxiety and fear compassionately
🌿 Close emotional loops with ritual and intention
🌿 Bring the lessons of the forest into daily life, long after the walk ends

Inspired by the teachings of Dr. Claire Weekes, Joshua Fletcher, and Drew Linsalata, this book blends science with soul. With warmth and honesty, Sam Kunkel reminds readers that recovery isn’t about escaping fear—it’s about remembering that you were never broken in the first place.

If you love nature, self-reflection, and a touch of irreverent humor, this book will meet you exactly where you are—muddy boots, messy emotions, and all.

Walk with yourself. Release what no longer serves you. Discover what it means to truly come home.
