How It Works
Setting: Sessions are conducted in natural settings like parks or trails.
Process: The therapist and client walk side by side, which can create a more relaxed and open environment.
Pace: The client typically sets the pace of the walk, allowing for a comfortable and personalized experience
Benefits
Physical Activity: Walking can help reduce stress and improve mood.
Nature Exposure: Being in nature can enhance feelings of well-being and reduce anxiety.
Comfort: Some clients find it easier to open up while walking rather than sitting face-to-face in a traditional therapy setting.
Considerations
Confidentiality: Since sessions are held in public spaces, there is a possibility of being overheard. Therapists take steps to maintain privacy, such as choosing less crowded paths.
Weather: Sessions may be affected by weather conditions, so flexibility is important.
Walk and Talk Therapy can be particularly effective for those who enjoy being outdoors or find it difficult to sit still during traditional therapy sessions.
