Imagine a therapy session that doesn’t confine you to the four walls of an office but takes you into the great outdoors, where you can literally and metaphorically breathe better. In our latest podcast episode, we chat with Stacey McKenna, a specialist in outdoor counselling, who shares with us how nature therapy can be a unique therapeutic environment that promotes the healing of mind and soul. She imparts insights about the fascinating world of polyvagal theory and its relevance to nature therapy. If you're always yearned for a different approach to conventional indoor therapy and a unique interaction with the great outdoors then this episode is just for you.
We further delve into the merits of preventive care and early intervention in mental health care, using the NHS well-being model as an illustrative example. We discuss its promotion of social participation, physical activity, learning new skills, giving to others, and mindfulness. Additionally, we bring to the fore a thought-provoking discussion on the potential cost-saving benefits of incorporating nature-based therapies into traditional treatments.
As we traverse through the episode, you will hear about Stacey’s experiences working with traumatized children and families. Using creative strategies and outdoor activities, Stacey engages with these families in a gentle and non-intimidating manner. We discuss the profound impact of shared experiences, and the need for self-care while working in this field. The episode concludes on a poignant note, highlighting the connection between nature, spiritual moments, and the overwhelming awe that it often inspires. Join us on this enlightening expedition as we uncover the transformative power of nature therapy.
