Therapy is powerful, but the work doesn’t stop when your session ends. What you do between sessions can make a big difference in your growth and healing. Whether you’re practicing mindfulness or exploring deeper patterns through psychodynamic therapy, integrating small daily practices can enhance your journey—and help you get more out of every appointment.

A key benefit of walk and talk therapy is its ability to reduce the stress and anxiety often associated with discussing difficult emotions. A study published in the Journal of Health Psychology (2016) found that walking during therapy sessions improves mood and reduces anxiety. The researchers concluded that physical activity, such as walking, promotes psychological well-being by boosting serotonin levels and fostering a sense of connection between the body and mind.
