Walk-n-Talk
Walk-n-Talk is a mindfulness-based body oriented therapy that can make it easier for clients to relax, reduce rumination, release physical tension, breath deep and benefit from therapy while processing experiences in a different way.
Research has consistently shown that exercise can significantly decrease anxiety and depression while improving overall mood. Clients find that using nature and exercise and movement helps them get “unstuck” while confronting difficult issues.
​
If you are concerned about your ability to walk and talk, just spending time in green space or bringing nature into your life can be as beneficial as walking in nature. Research has shown that these activities can improve mood, reduce feelings of stress or anger, facilitate feels of wellbeing and relaxation, improve confidence and self esteem and increase energy, clearer thought processes and it can help you feel less inhibited and more in touch with your feelings.
​
Clients often report feeling more anxious when confronting something difficult in a traditional seated face to face interactions, and walking in parallel with nature and visual distractions often allow for easier engagement.
