Use nature to boost growth, healing and mental health.
Connection with the earth and its systems are at the core of eco therapy. Many clinicians who practice eco therapy believe that the earth has a self-righting capacity which operates through complex systems of integrated balance, and that if people can harmonize with these systems, they may experience improved mental health. Personal well-being and planetary well-being, as proposed in many tenets of eco therapy, are not separate from each other. People’s lives are therefore seen as part of a greater system of interaction.
Benefits of eco therapy include lower stress, higher confidence, reduced depression, improved focus and more relaxation.
