Make time FOR NATURE
IF YOU EVER FELT the desire to get away from it all, to take a trip out into the wilds to clear your mind and re-set your perspective, you were really onto something.
Historically, a prescription to take some time off from the hustle and bustle of urban life was fairly common and today (with an impressive amount of studies to back up the benefits) this is enjoying a resurgence in the form of eco-therapy – a complementary therapy, which taps into the beneficial impact nature has on our emotional, physical and psychological wellbeing.
The symbiosis between human beings and nature is evident in a staggering number of studies and because of this, many psychology professionals and NHS GPs now believe that the outside world makes the ideal setting for working therapeutically.
