Field treatment brings together a holistic concept of theories and methods, some from the world of ecotherapy, also known as nature therapy - 

An approach to mental health that recognizes the positive effects of nature on a person's sense of well-being.

 

There is a lot of wisdom and healing that can be found in nature, humans developed in nature, our ancestors had a deep, physical and spiritual connection with nature,

In the past man saw himself as part of nature, the development of modern life led to man's disconnection from nature. 

Nature care deals with animalsA re-discovery of our natural roots, the going out into the field-Nature allows you to get away from the noise of busy and stressful everyday life,

Reconnect to something inside us that has been lost. 

The actions are simple, so to speak, listening to the birdsong, going for a challenging walk in nature, standing barefoot on the ground (grounding), watching the stars,  

  .'etc (Shinrin-yoku, Forest Bathing) to go out into the forest for an attentive walk 

The modern man's lifestyle has led to scarcity of nature, a scarcity that greatly affects the mind and body.

​

In recent years, studies on the effects of exposure to nature and the effect of connection to nature on both physical and mental health have increased significantly. 

Several studies have found that exposure to nature has profound positive effects on our cognition (memory, attention, cognitive flexibility, etc.),

Mental health (reduced stress, decreased symptoms of depression and anxiety, increased happiness) and physical health (lowered blood pressure, increased immunity, etc.). 

​

There is a significant difference between the effects of exposure to nature and being connected to nature, although we may still experience exposure to nature on a daily, weekly or monthly basis,

Western society has created a lack of real connection to nature. Connectedness to nature is defined as the extent to which we make nature part of our identity,

We see ourselves affected by nature and influence it, perceive nature and us as one - a whole fabric of life.

In addition to the benefits of being connected to nature, nature connectedness has a strong correlation with environmentally responsible behaviors,

Perceptions, actions and lightBalanced and sustainable lifestyles.

Exposure to nature provides a multitude of health benefits:

• Nature therapy has been proven to reduce general blood pressure and lower heart rate. [1]

• Nature therapy can benefit the immune system by acting on the autonomic nervous system. The immune response is at its best when the body is calm and balanced, any exercise that may reduce stress and facilitate relaxation is beneficial to the immune system.  Certain chemical compounds present in the forest air will have a direct effect on the immune system. [2]

• Phytonsides, oils that trees emit to protect themselves from pathogens and parasites, have been shown to have a direct effect on the activity of natural killer (NK) cells in the body. NK cells are responsible for identifying and destroying potentially harmful organisms that enter the bloodstream. High activity leads to increased immune protection. [3][4]

• Exposure to nature or pictures of nature can provide subjective pain reduction. [5][6]

• It has been proven that treatment in nature reduces depression and anxiety, as well as positively affects the mood. [7] .

• Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce the levels of the cortisol in the body and therefore reduces physiological stress. [8]

• Physical activity in nature can help relieve the symptoms of Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). [9]

• It was found that participating in nature care improves the quality of life and general well-being. [10]

• Physical activity in nature and regular exposure to natural scenery can improve the symptoms of ADHD(ADHD) in children. [11]

GodGoing to the field - to nature together with the field therapist allows an encounter with nature in different and varied ways adapted to the unique needs

of the individual or the group. Nature provides many reflections of Our interiority and our personal relationships, it is an object of metaphorical symbolism and projection.

Along with the simple connection to nature, the field therapist will combine planned interventions aimed at the needs and goals of the trip and promote the process of connection,

Expanding the view, growth and healing.

After returning from the trip, the experience will resonate strongly, processing sessions have great meaning and importance to complete the process.

Field therapy can also be used as a complementary therapeutic or educational approach and be a catalyst for traditional psychological therapy or an educational process.
