We are excited as a team at Academy of Therapy Wisdom to present to you our 4th annual issue of the Wise Therapy Spotlight, a community publication we curate from submissions received from our teachers and students around a different designated theme. The Wise Therapy Spotlight is one of the most rewarding projects we do every year at Academy of Therapy Wisdom.

This year, we asked you and your fellow students, therapists, teachers…
How, as a community, do we repair a sick world when it is anguished with mental suffering?
A word from the editors…
We are interested in your reflections on therapeutic practices and wise approaches to addressing the mental health crisis locally and globally without ignoring the ecosystem we are all living and breathing. How can the therapeutic community extend its reach to mitigate mental distress for individuals from all walks of life, from the youth to the seniors? The outpouring of responses has been astounding for their depth of consideration.
The final selections range from the thoughtfully academic (such as Antonella Sansone, PhD) to the poignantly playful (Sandra Wartski, PsyD). Many talk about self-care, nature, and resilience, and the inextricably social nature of mental health.
The pieces are presented in no particular order. Each is worth spending some time with. It is our hope that reading the words of your colleagues around the world brings you closer to them and to yourself.
With sincere appreciation for you,
Brian Spielmann & Ian McPherson, Co-directors
