Nature Sensitivity Student Earns Ph.D for Learning How To Recover From Eating Disorders Nature-lovers earn low cost university degrees while mastering how to help themselves, others and natural systems recover from destructive relationships.
"Since our extreme disconnection from Nature often stresses our psyche into producing the many disorders we and the environment suffer, it is no surprise that learning how to reconnect with Nature helps us recover from these disorders," says Ph.D recipient Theresa Sweeney at the Institute of Global Education's (IGE) online Ecopsychology degree program. Sweeney, who was plagued by eating disorders, has received her Doctorate with honors from Greenwich University for researching and designing a nature-connected recovery guidebook. Her program enables environmentally caring people to help themselves and others transform many dysfunctions into the rewards from constructive relationships with self, society and Nature. Sweeney's studies center around the development and use of an Organic Psychology Natural Systems Thinking Process (NSTP) under the guidance of IGE Director, Michael J. Cohen Ed.D. Her instructor was Nature itself and the wide ranging expertise of the Institute's learning cooperative of mid-career professional students. Cohen, author of Reconnecting With Nature (Ecopress), says, "The program takes advantage of a seldom recognized phenomenon: most relationships and professions that are genuinely connected with Nature are more successful, lasting and responsible than those isolated from Nature. NSTP helps people increase personal and environmental health by empowering them with the ability to make thoughtful sensory contacts with natural systems within and around them." Sweeney says the secret to the program is that it is an enjoyable, personalized and profound team effort. "NSTP helped me increase my esteem for natural systems and their cooperative, unifying ways. It enabled me to bring myself, Earth and others into a healing, sustainable, balance." she said. Like many of her fellow environmentally and socially concerned classmates, Sweeney received a tuition scholarship to make possible her participation in the program and be debt free at its completion. The Institute of Global Education is a special NGO consultant to the United Nations Economic and Social Council. It researches and offers peace programs that support the United Nations manifesto for environmentally sound personal growth and social justice. Its tuition is based entirely on an applicant's ability to pay via a cooperative learning scholarship plan. The program is described at http://www.ecopsych.com and may be contacted at 360-378-6313
