$Walking Therapy \u2013 A Solution Focused Approach$

This workshop offers a unique opportunity for hypnotherapists to explore and integrate the benefits of walking into their practice!
About this Event

After a huge sellout and success in April, June and October 2024, The "Solution Focused Walking Therapy" workshop offers once again a unique opportunity for solution-focused therapists and hypnotherapists to explore and integrate the benefits of walking therapy into their practice. Walking therapy, a form of outdoor therapy, combines the mental health benefits of physical activity with the therapeutic process, offering a distinctive approach to support clients. Research and evidence underscore the positive impact of walking therapy on mental health, highlighting its potential to reduce depression and anxiety, enhance self-esteem, and foster a deeper connection with nature.

Walking therapy provides a sense of freedom, promotes personal growth, and facilitates a natural, therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist. It enables the exploration of thoughts and feelings in a less intense setting than the traditional therapy room, leveraging the healing power of nature and movement. This approach not only aids in processing emotions and challenges but also improves physical health, offering a holistic method of care.

Furthermore, studies have shown that walking can help manage cravings and addiction, suggesting its potential in addressing a wide range of mental health issues. The act of walking, especially in a mindful manner, can align the mind, body, and heart, fostering a sense of well-being and allowing for deeper therapeutic work. The workshop, led by Karen Dunnet, aims to guide practitioners in adapting their practice to include walking therapy, addressing practical considerations such as initial consultations, insurance adjustments, and personal implementation of the technique.

This immersive workshop will not only cover the practicalities and benefits of walking therapy but also delves fully into:

the IC
mindfulness
scaling
miracle question
keeping safe in walking therapy
group walking

Further enriching the therapeutic experience for both practitioners and clients.

Outdoor therapy, including walking therapy, is recognised for its versatility and applicability to a wide range of therapeutic needs. It is suitable for clients who may find traditional settings confining or uninspiring, offering an alternative that can rejuvenate the therapeutic process. Ensuring the therapist's competency in outdoor therapy is crucial for addressing individual and specific needs safely and effectively.

This workshop is a pioneering CPD event for those interested in enriching their therapeutic practice with the evidenced benefits of walking therapy. At a fee of £69, with special rates for APHP and NCH members upon request, attendees will engage with a comprehensive curriculum designed to integrate walking therapy into their professional toolkit effectively.
