Listen "Nature as Therapist: The Power of Forest Bathing for Mental Wellbeing with Georgia Bromehead, MS"
Episode Synopsis
Today we're diving into a topic that feels more essential than ever: how to find calm and reduce anxiety in our increasingly fast-paced world. You might be surprised to learn that the solution we're exploring today isn't a new meditation app or a complex mindfulness technique, but rather something much simpler and more natural.
Our guest is Georgia Bromehead, MS the founder and guide of Forest Therapy Nashville. Georgia is passionate about helping people connect with the healing power of nature through the practice of forest therapy, also known as forest bathing. Inspired by the Japanese tradition of shinrinyoku, forest therapy invites us to slow down and engage with the natural world in a mindful way, using all of our senses to tap into the therapeutic benefits of the forest.
As someone who's struggled with feeling overwhelmed by the demands of modern life, I was deeply curious to learn more about how forest therapy works and why it's gaining recognition as a powerful tool for reducing stress and improving mental wellbeing. Georgia shares how forest therapy differs from a typical hike in the woods, and the scientifically-proven ways it can help our brains and bodies relax and rejuvenate.
Whether you're an avid outdoors person or someone who doesn't get to nature as much as you'd like, Georgia's insights offer a compelling reason to get outside and invite the forest to be your therapist. So let's step onto the trail and explore the healing potential of the natural world together.
