Outdoor therapy and experiences in nature have been shown to have clinical benefits for depression and anxiety. There has also been studies suggesting that introducing nature into clinical work can deepen the positive impacts of counseling for some individuals. Special considerations are taken regarding confidentiality, including avoiding highly populated areas and checking-in around the client's need for privacy. Talk to your clinician about the ability to meet together and go for a hike outdoors.
Art therapy is a method of approaching counseling that prioritizes visual and kinesthetic processing. In other words art therapists tend to utilize more than just words when approaching a person's emotional life, including visual images, movement, sounds, and symbols. This approach can be particularly helpful if someone is not ready to discuss things out loud, or if talking through their experiences is not yielding the results they had hoped for. An example of this could be someone feeling overwhelmed when attempting to talk about a past trauma, so the counseling session would focus instead on creating a drawing that represented both the trauma and the emotional impact it had on them. It can also be used in conjunction with processing, as in having a soothing art activity that provides comfort and sensory engagement while talking through something scary or anxiety provoking. This allows for a person's nervous system to both discuss the issue, while receiving a sense of comfort and safety which allows for growth in addressing their anxiety. The uses and styles of art therapy vary as much as the therapists who utilize this approach, so be sure to ask your clinician what is available and how it might benefit you in future sessions.
