Walk and Talk Therapy

About Walk and Talk Therapy

 

Walk and talk therapy falls under the eco-psychotherapy, a combination of ‘ecology’ and ‘psychotherapy’ or ‘psychology’ umbrella. Walk and talk therapy has been found to facilitate positive improvements in many mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and stress. If you're interested in learning more about eco-psychotherapy, check out this recent article that describes the possibilities of walk and talk therapy as well as acknowledging the difficulties in collecting data on this very diverse field.

Parque Bicentenario Pilot Walk and Talk

 

WHEN and WHERE we are meeting

We are meeting at my office on the ground floor at 4260 San Patricio, Vitacura at 8am, Saturday the 18th of January, 2025. I will meet you in the lobby and direct you to my office where we will discuss the plan for the day, and open space for any last minute questions.

 

What you'll need:

*sunsafe gear (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses etc)

*comfortable walking shoes

*water bottle (can be empty- you can fill up at the park)

*notepad and pen

 

About the walk:

The duration of the walk is 1.5 hours. The walk we will be doing can be estimated to be a grade two level walk. There is no bushwalking experience required. There are well made paths throughout the park with occasional gentle hill sections and some steps. The walk will not exceed 5km in distance. The group is limited to 7 people so that you can get close enough to hear the guiding questions and so there is space for everyone's voice to be heard.
