So how does the WALK & TALK Consult work?
Conventional consultations, seated face to face can be confronting, create anxiety and hinder opening up about our health problems and how we feel about ourselves.
But walking in parallel with visual distractions creates an easier engagement, and has shown to develop dramatic shifts in thinking about our health & the impact it is having in our lives.
Movement propels people forward — literally and figuratively
“Sitting is passive, it’s a deflated posture,”
Walking is literally moving ahead, making us feel we are moving forward in our issues, tackling things better and faster.
Rhythmic walking through a park, along the beach or just being outside can create a much more relaxed, productive session, by walking in sync we create a bond helping you to speak freely.
We have all heard of the “Healing power of Nature”……there is an automatic association of being outdoors with recreation and vacation, two very positive things that most people want to experience more.
Getting rid of our corporate body armor – eg. suits – changing into casual clothing helps us loosen up, lessening the sense of confrontation, of ‘being under the microscope,’ predictably felt in an office setting.
Scientific studies have shown the positive effects of what exercise has on the brain, especially for people with depression.
So if you have difficulty with face to face consultations in a clinical office situation, and find it hard to reveal very private and possibly painful things about your health, this could possibly be the starting point for you, to start addressing your health issues and have a first consultation OUT & ABOUT.
