5 Tips for Showing Gratitude

Can you believe it’s the last week of October? Where did this month go? While most people are busy getting ready for the upcoming holiday weekend, some of us are already looking ahead to the holiday season. What is the holiday season going to look like this year? Will we finally be able to have a “normal” gathering for the holidays that doesn’t include video calls? Regardless of what the holiday season may look like for you this year, we are going into a season to show kindness, gratitude, and caring. No, we don’t need a specific season to display these traits.

Walk & Talk Therapy

Walk & Talk Therapy

Walk-and-talk therapy can be known by different names. Regardless of the name, this form of therapy brings the provider and the patient outside the therapy room. Walk-and-talk therapy is not a new concept and has its roots in mindfulness-based therapy, as well as body-oriented therapy. Numerous research studies show the benefits of the outdoors, as well as bringing the outdoors inside (e.g. having plants in the home). Some benefits to being outdoors include decreased anxiety, increased concentration and happiness, improved creativity, and better physical health.
