The Benefits Of Nature Therapy- How Modern Society Has Strained Our Brains

Send us a text

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan to discuss the benefits of time spent outside in nature. Specifically, we focus on the mental health aspect of it all.

A lot of people report feeling better when outside or when spending a certain amount of time outside daily or weekly, but Dr. Heidi is here to back that up with some scientific studies as well. She starts by sharing about an experiment and study done on how different background noises (at various levels) affected people during their sleep.

Dr. Heidi then takes us back to what inspired her quest for knowledge and understanding the power of nature. It all started with wondering how therapists deal with the emotional turmoil that comes from hearing their patient's worst stories and issues. With most of them answering that they use nature to help themselves, she questioned why they didn't suggest that for their patients. So, she wanted to find out more.

Additionally, Dr. Heidi shares how she is implementing what she learned into her practice, including educating and hosting outdoor retreats for therapy and mental health help.
