Engaging Nature in Therapy
Let's not just talk about problems, let's go out and meet it, face it, and move it!
By connecting nature into therapy sessions, words can fall away and tensions in your body can release. Problems don't have to feel heavy when you can play, create art, and move with them outside.
What does that actually look like?
Some examples include:
*Building a sculpture out of natural elements that represent your challenge and the lessons it taught you, then demolishing it!
*Burying symbols to access grief and to let go
*Creating Past, Present, and Future representations when going through a transition
*Playing in the elements, like mud and snow to release seasonal depressions
*Throwing rocks or running up a mountain to release anger
*Sitting quietly and feeling into what the present moment reveals
*Having natural objects represent different parts of self and seeing what wisdom they have to offer
*Finding a client's own sacred spot that they can return to for their own self care
Connecting nature into therapy is great for people who.....
*Feel stuck
*Have done therapy, but still feel the "ick" in their bodies
*Going through major life transitions
*Want to talk less and move their bodies more
*Socially have a hard time with eye contact
*Don't want to face their challenges alone
*Are lonely and what to feel how they belong in this world
*Are anxious and willing to take in nature's slower pace
*Are mamas who are feeling adrift
*Love nature and feel better just being outside
This isn't a newfangled, cutting-edge, therapy. It's more what humans have been doing for centuries... going to the earth and laying our burdens down.
I offer therapy sessions and a 6 week course to supplement therapies already done.
