Walking and Talking

We have found that walking alongside someone can feel less intimidating, especially if you struggle with eye contact or feel awkward being in a close relationship with someone.

Being outside also brings movement to the body which research shows is good for people who have experienced trauma, the rhythmical movement sends a message to our bodies that it's okay to relax reducing our heart rate and the fight/ flight response.

When we feel more relaxed it allows us to talk through any difficult issues more freely.
