‘Into the Wild’: A meta-synthesis of talking therapy in natural outdoor spaces
This Meta-synthesis highlights the benefits of holding therapy sessions in #nature, which can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance emotional well-being. While outdoor therapy offers unique advantages, such as greater openness and connection with nature, it also requires careful consideration of client suitability and professional training.
"Summary:
This article explores the benefits of conducting talking therapy in natural outdoor settings, which can reduce stress and improve mood. By integrating therapy with nature, practitioners enhance emotional well-being and encourage open expression. A review of 38 studies involving 322 practitioners and 163 clients outlines best practices and techniques.
Outdoor therapy ranges from using nature as a calming backdrop to actively incorporating the environment into sessions. While challenges like client suitability and professional training exist, the study highlights its growing potential in mental health care. However, a few limitations were identified such as potential distractions, lack of privacy, and lack of control around weather conditions."

The Weight of Wonder
Two nights before leaving for the Pacific Northwest, I find myself surrounded by wrinkled itinerary pages, hiking gear, and a dream I’ve carried for nearly half my life. What begins as a story about planning slowly becomes something much deeper: learning that simply standing in the place you’ve longed for can matter more than finishing every mile.https://perfectlyimperfectlife.blog/2026/07/19/the-weight-of-wonder/

When the bipolar monster is screaming in your head, you have to force your attention back to your body. Get your hands in the dirt, hold a cold glass of water, or feel the wind. Use the physical world to anchor your racing mind! 🌱 #GroundingTechniques #NatureHeals #BipolarSupport

Yesterday, I Needed Quiet
For the past few weeks, I’ve been sleeping more than I have in a long time. I’ll wake up only to fall back asleep again. Projects I’ve been excited about sit untouched. Chores around the house feel bigger than they should. I honestly don’t know why. Yesterday was no different. I almost didn’t go.https://perfectlyimperfectlife.blog/2026/07/05/yesterday-i-needed-quiet/

Chapter Seven: Return to Wonder | Perfectly Imperfect Life
For years, the Pacific Northwest has lived somewhere in my imagination. As July begins, I’m reflecting on why some places stay with us long before we’ve ever arrived and how learning to notice beauty has quietly changed the way I move through the world.https://perfectlyimperfectlife.blog/2026/07/01/chapter-seven-return-to-wonder/

241 Days Later
For so much of the last week, I have been focused on what felt broken. The Body Dysmorphia. The RSD. The exhaustion. The darkness that likes to lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to convince me that I am weaker than I really am. Monday reminded me that while those things may always be part of my story, they are not the whole story.https://perfectlyimperfectlife.blog/2026/06/23/241-days-later/

I never thought anyone still bought zines these days! But hey, I’ve got my first customers. 🥰 That’s motivating me to come up with a few more, hopefully when things calm down a bit. What would you like to see:
My first mini zine after decades: https://ko-fi.com/s/700d3d3138

Hiked up to Muir snowfield today; found a deep crack! My friend and I discussed our unused crevasse rescue skills and gratitude for not needing to use them. Our September turns are in!
Been doing a lot of backpacking recently, reaching some new sides of Tahoma (Rainier), Koma Kulshan (Baker) and a little in between. Im a bit behind on posts, but Ive been exploring some of the biggest glaciers and finding some of the oldest trees Washington state still has. More stories to come, seasons changing, new opportunities arising and the world has much to process. There is peace in the mountains. Hope you are finding it.

#Selfcare with plants. I'm awfully exhausted right now. But there's still a plant blooming in my garden that's a friend to me. You can talk to flowers and they chatter with their scent.

I make circles to remind myself that I am whole, to bring all the scattered aspects of myself together as one healthy, functional, interesting Self. The opposite of dissociating, the counterbalance to disconnectedness. I make a lot of circles, and I make them from the natural world which heals me.
