A message from your Employee Assistance Program
The practice of getting “back to Nature” is a common and successful strategy for dealing with everyday stress and strain. A walk in the woods or stroll along the beach is widely known to have the capacity to restore our sanity and perspective on the world. What may be less obvious is the notion that when we feel alienated and alone in the world Nature can also restore our sense of feeling connected to everything around us – including other people.
Dr. Kenneth Worthy, Ph.D. makes an interesting point about re-connecting in a blog published in PsychologyToday.com writing about "eutierria", the feeling of being one with Nature and our surroundings.
