Nature is rich and offers us the opportunity to connect with what’s essential. It offers us healing through its simple contact.
For some people, simply being outdoors makes the therapeutic process more comfortable and effective. This can be particularly relevant to intense suffering, such as those associated with post-traumatic conditions.
Naturotherapy can include consultations in nature, either by walking, observing nature or using it as a reference point to explore concepts that are also present within us.Such as: adaptability, resilience, uniqueness, the influence of one on the other, the impact of our environment on our well-being, and so on.
The benefits of spending time in nature are numerous and increasingly recognized scientifically, to the point where, in some regions, doctors have begun to prescribe 20 minutes of nature a day to their patients. Spending time outdoors has been shown to reduce the presence of stress hormones in the body and increase the ability to concentrate.
If the idea of sitting in an office with a therapist and talking about your problems does not attract you, this option might be right for you.
