What will be an ideal response?
Proponents of ecotherapy propose such interventions as inquiring about clients' relationships with the natural environment, assigning a walk in the park as homework, use of plants and photos of natural settings in therapist offices, nature guided mindfulness meditation, use of nature metaphors, and developing forest experiences for adolescents. The combination of green spaces with physical exercise has been found to be a particularly potent program for mood elevation in people experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. This research indicates that the degree of perceived "greenness" of the environment has a greater influence than the intensity of the exercise on symptom relief, with the greater benefits coming from enhanced perception of greenness. Ecotherapy includes time spent with domestic and companion animals.
