Episode Synopsis "EP4: "7 attitudes to illness" by Patrice Bouchardon"

Following episode 3, here's a 10 minute reflection on how we think about illness, from Patrice Bouchardon's book, The Healing Energy of Trees. When are we the farmer, looking at the most obvious, and when are we the ecologist, taking time to consider what has brought us to this situation? "All of us carry microbes and viruses, but not everyone gets ill from them." If we believe health is larger than our individual state of being, this reflection will help us consider how to heal together with others and the environment.This is 2 pages out of his 150-page book.
