We are proud to offer Walk & Talk Therapy at Unwritten Endings!
Walk & Talk Therapy is a unique practice that combines traditional talk therapy with the physical exercise of walking or playing therapeutic games outdoors, instead of sitting in an office. It gets people moving literally and figuratively!
Sitting down and talking face to face with your therapist can be challenging. Eye contact can feel awkward. Some people struggle to sit still. Going outside and getting moving can make it feel easier to talk and open up.
The Unwritten Endings’ office has ponds, fields, a basketball court, a tennis court, and a number of peaceful sitting areas within walking distance.
Check out this view of the pond behind our office!
Personally, I love to use Walk & Talk Therapy as an opportunity to introduce clients to the practice of mindfulness in nature. I encourage people to take a moment to pause by the pond and to tune into their senses. This can be a great time to use the 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique. A moment of mindfulness does wonders for our mood!
As an added bonus, clients are welcome to bring their dogs to outdoor therapy sessions!
