At Nurtured by Nature we believe that deepening our connection with nature is key for improving and maintaining our mental wellbeing
Although recognition of the importance of nature to mental wellbeing is a relatively new concept in mainstream Western Psychotherapy, ancient peoples and indigenous cultures, such as Aboriginals and Native Americans, have long viewed the wellbeing of humans to be intimately linked with their environment and the natural world (Lassman, 2016).
What are the benefits of nature based therapy?
Being in or exposed to nature or even images of nature can provide a relaxation in tension and even subjective pain reduction. Nature Therapy has been shown to lift mood and reduce depression and anxiety. Spending time in nature has been shown to lower the cortisol levels in the body and therefore reduce physiological stress.
The healing power and beneficial effects of nature have become the focus of scientific research within the last few decades. Like any therapeutic intervention, nature therapy is structured with planned interventions working toward achieving specific and individualised goals.
