Imagine disconnecting from the noise, with limited internet, and fully immersing yourself in the beauty of nature. I did that during my seven-day trek around Mont Blanc in August 2024, and it was transformative.
As a psychotherapist, I’ve always been fascinated by how we connect with each other despite our differences. On this journey, I experienced firsthand how nature breaks down barriers, allowing us to understand and support each other in profound ways.
Sure, the sleeping conditions weren’t 5-star, but being surrounded by the raw beauty of nature taught me something crucial: simplicity is powerful. Stepping away from life’s comforts didn’t just refresh my body—it reset my mind.
Walking in nature became a form of therapy, reducing anxiety and bringing clarity that’s hard to find in our everyday hustle.
This hike was about physical endurance as well as mental and emotional healing. It reinforced my belief that walking in nature is one of the most effective ways to combat anxiety.
If you’re battling anxiety or simply need a mental reset, I encourage you to embrace the simple life, even if just for a little while.
