What IS Walk and Talk Therapy?
Walk and Talk Therapy combines traditional talk therapy with the physical exercise of walking. While walking and getting the benefit of physical exercise, the client receives mental health therapy - a powerful two-in-one treatment.
The simple act of walking while talking out life's issues stimulates new thought processes and allows for new neuronal firings to take place and healing to begin.
Walk and Talk Therapy can help treat:
- Mild or moderate depression
- Anxiety
- Career/workplace issues
- Relationship problems
- Family issues
- Life transitions
- Loss and Grief
- Adjusting to a new baby
- ADHD
- Fears and Phobias
- Body Image concerns
- Eating Disorders
WHY WALK?
According to the Mayo Clinic, walking regularly in a brisk manner can help:
- Maintain a healthy weight and strengthen bones and muscles
- Prevent or manage heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes
- Improve mood and help with balance and coordination
A 45-minute walk may increase endorphins (the feel-good hormone). It activates all 5 senses and helps with Anxiety and Depression. Being in nature helps one be more meditative and grounded. More oxygen means more stimulation in the brain.
