Healing in the Heart of a Forest

Inside the Therapy Room

Do you love nature or just being outdoors? Maybe you’re not sure whether talk therapy on its own is entirely for you? Perhaps you have a spiritual connection to the land. This episode on Forest Therapy is for you!

In today’s episode you get a glimpse of what it is like to sit Inside the Therapy Room or rather the outdoor therapy space. Where we discuss why being in nature is so powerful, Matt shares his profound personal and professional experiences, and how forest therapy is different from just going for a walk.
