In a recent episode of the Heart of the Big Bend podcast, Brisa Therapeutics co-founders Toni and Jacque shared insights into how natural environments, particularly the Big Bend region, play a crucial role in mental and emotional wellness. The discussion, titled 'Desert Magic: Mental / Emotional Health and the Outdoors', delved into the neuroscience behind nature's healing effects, including bilateral stimulation and nervous system resets facilitated by open, natural spaces.
The Brisa team explained that environments like Alpine, TX, offer more than scenic beauty; they actively participate in emotional healing and personal restoration. Their conversation highlighted the importance of trauma-informed care and resilience, drawing from their clinical experience to illustrate how reconnecting with nature can lead to significant improvements in mental health. This episode serves as a valuable resource for therapists, wellness seekers, and anyone looking to understand the profound impact of nature on the human brain and emotional well-being.
