Motionless Nomads

Before, in order to travel, one had to move 카지노 게임 컬렉션� to walk, to ride, to swim, or to run. Nowadays, travelling involves much less physical effort; we can passively evolve through landscapes, sitting on a train, bus or plane.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Active transportation카지노 게임 컬렉션� is a fashionable term nowadays. It stresses our active physical involvement in transportation: getting around, using our human energy, primarily walking or cycling.

When we have a car and drive often, all we see is other cars and advertisement signs. We simply get from point A to point B, as quickly as the traffic allows us. We surely gain time in the process, but while skipping the landscape, people and sensory experiences, we lose precious first-hand information from the field.

We learn about the weather from a smartphone screen, instead of going outside to feel the temperature or observe the sky.

Before, when we took a slow boat, we could spend the entire time on deck and feel the wind, the rain, or the sunshine on our skin. We had time to adapt to the climate of a new place, to prepare, to integrate information about our movement in a given space. Now we get on a plane with artificially maintained cabin pressure, and are surprised by the climate at our destination, with our senses shocked.

We tend to trust our own senses less, and eventually we 카지노 게임 컬렉션�skip카지노 게임 컬렉션� them entirely. This is when it becomes difficult to explain what we experience in our body when feeling anxious, joyful, or scared. Our senses inform us on how our environment impacts us. Ultimately, they help us make sense of our emotional – and then cognitive – reaction to this environment. Skipping this first stage of 카지노 게임 컬렉션�making sense of the world카지노 게임 컬렉션� can cause serious confusion.

It is important to reconnect with our senses to help us gain awareness about what is going on outside our body, and to better read our genuine reactions to the environment.

If this process is smooth enough, we struggle less with integration in a new place. We adapt quicker and evolve throughout the process, gaining in resilience.

When we arrive in a new place, we can choose how to discover it. If we walk, we put ourselves on the same level with the environment; we take a risk to get wet in the rain, or pushed by a passing stranger. But at the same time, we also get a chance to meet someone, a child, a dog, a squirrel, or a tree, that touches us and makes us smile.

Talking Therapy Goes Walking

Psychotherapy is associated with lying on a couch or sitting in a comfortable armchair, while talking therapies generally focus on thinking and feeling. The client카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and the therapist카지노 게임 컬렉션�s body are excluded from the process. Taking therapy outdoors brings the body back into the process.

Walk and talk therapy is an old but well-forgotten concept. Freud was known for walking with some of his clients in the streets of Vienna. Walking alongside a client 카지노 게임 컬렉션� is a very strong metaphor to what therapy ultimately is. We do walk side by side, as Irvin Yalom puts it – as 카지노 게임 컬렉션�fellow travellers카지노 게임 컬렉션�.

Every therapy has a stage where feeling and thinking are necessary ingredients. But when we gain some clarity and feel ready to make changes in our lives, we naturally move into action.

Any kind of psychotherapy is a dynamic process, and the client카지노 게임 컬렉션�s scope is often 카지노 게임 컬렉션�to move forward카지노 게임 컬렉션�, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�to go ahead카지노 게임 컬렉션�, or 카지노 게임 컬렉션�to progress카지노 게임 컬렉션�. By walking and talking, we engage differently with our energy, compared to talking and passively lying or sitting.

Walk and Talk for Fellow 온라인 카지노 게임s

Most of my local clients are expatriates. They often come to me with feelings of anxiety, depression, or a general impression of being stuck. Being an expatriate myself, I have first-hand experience with being 카지노 게임 컬렉션�suspended between the worlds카지노 게임 컬렉션�, typical for those who experience displacement.

온라인 카지노 게임riation naturally brings us to question our early attachment to people or to places; the original bonds that we have formed during childhood and the new bonds we develop later in life. Walking in a particularly engaging space, such as Buen Retiro Park in Madrid, gives us an opportunity to explore these important links.

Many modern nomads live rather motionless urban lives, where exercise has become another task to fit in our calendar. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Walk & Talk카지노 게임 컬렉션� could, along with talking therapy, be a welcome way to bring movement back into our weekly routine.
