Emotion Regulation & the Natural World

Emotion Regulation & the Natural World

Question: How does nature help with regulation and balance?

Dave's forest therapy training - https://anft.earth/

Emotion Regulation tip #1 - let things be complicated

  • Science and mystery

  • Concrete concepts around ourselves and our bodies as well as spiritual or less concrete concepts around ourselves

Emotion Regulation tip #2 - we regulate when we provide a space

  • For each other (co-regulation)

  • For ourselves (self-regulation)

  • We are a part of nature and regulate within nature.

  • We are constantly in a process of shedding and restoring.

  • God designed us with internal and externally connected regulation methods.

Emotion Regulation tip #3 - getting out of our own way of regulating

  • How do we accidentally get in the way of regulating naturally?

  • Origins of forest therapy with the advent of tech/media

  • Benefits of the natural world on our cardiovascular system

Emotion Regulation tip #4 -find the blue spaces and the green spaces

  • 3 specific outlined mechanisms for emotion regulation in nature:

foster positive emotions

Signals parasympathetic nervous system or rest/wellbeing state

connection and care of nature as respite, rebuilds energy

Emotion Regulation tip #5 - practice grounding

  • Finding a sense in our body that we have a firm foundation, tethered to the ground or our seat

  • Often feel "ungrounded" in chaotic world and holding 3-5 emotions at any given time

  • Increasing vagal tone
