Exploring how People with Addictions Experienced Nature-Awareness as a Therapeutic Intervention.
Nature has been used as a healer throughout the world from the spiritual-journey delivered by Shamans to the physical-interventions of western medicine e.g. using maggots to clean out wounds. This study will look at Wilderness-therapy and more specifically at Nature-Awareness as an intervention for people with addictions, drawn from participant’s personal experiences and accounts of Nature-Awareness. Wilderness-therapy resides outside of the traditional methods employed by residential treatment-programmes and considers nature as the primary facilitator for change where the therapeutic process is a shared-experience between an individual and therapist, who uses various tools to help individuals to engage in their personal journey into active recovery.
