Psychology, Forest Bathing and Clinical Forest Therapy
“We still respond to perceived threats much as we did in the Stone Age – with stress. Today, however, the triggers are usually not physical danger but constant time pressure, social conflict or health-related strain. Stress and relaxation are part of the same cycle, which is why it is just as important to create space for recovery as it is to reduce stress. The forest offers a remarkable range of opportunities for this. I see my role as helping people discover what enables them to make more room for recovery in their own lives.”
