How did I come up with the idea of using walk and talk therapy?
☀️I noticed how starved most people are of contact with nature and simple exercise.
☀️I observed how some clients, especially the ones who experienced trauma, looked uncomfortable and fidgety sitting face to face sessions in the office
☀️ I reflected on how good it felt to walk with a friends (and dogs!) discussing life’s ups and downs
I decided to offer the option for walk and talk therapy because…
🍃Nature has the power to boost our mood, increase our sense of connection to self and others, widen our perspective
🍃 Exercise and psychotherapy together improve mood, reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, help with relational trauma
🍃Mind body connection increases
🍃People report feeling more clarity of thoughts and ease of talking
🍃Walking side by side promotes a more equal relationship between client and therapist- less intimidating than therapy indoors
Full disclosure: Manuel the French bulldog doesn’t take part in therapy sessions unless you request it 😉 But walks with him have been my main inspiration.
