@kristiedegaris Yes, for deep trauma, the work has to go on inside. Just being in nature isn't going to fix that stuff. But for people who are dealing with ordinary stress, getting out in nature can be very restorative. It takes us outside of ourselves, reminds us of bigger perspectives than the things we typically obsess about and get perturbed by, and gives us a break from the daily habits that keep our minds stuck in ruts. Nature can't replace therapy, but it can play a role in mental health.
