It is better to look looking for nature. Nature is the best and stress-free.
In psychotherapy, occupational therapy – so important in coping with stress and aimed at accelerating the return of lost function and fitness – takes various forms. We distinguish between ergotherapy, art therapy, aesthetic therapy, chromotherapy, kinesitherapy and relaxation activities. Thus, we can engage, depending on the need in pottery and ceramics, gardening and carpentry, we can experience therapy through art through librarianship, dance and movement therapy, music therapy, or enjoy good contact with the beauty of the environment and nature, surrounding ourselves with therapeutic colors.
Acting within the framework of our project entitled: “Development, research and implementation of an innovative method of psychotherapy using virtual reality glasses with software to support the course of treatment,” we decided to combine the potential of occupational therapies with that of virtual reality, which activates the imagination and our inner resources. Isolated from our problems and surroundings, we have the chance through the exercise support of our virtual glasses to find the strength, energy and inner resources within ourselves and ultimately the help we need in the healing process.
The last six months have been many hours of the last part of the work, full of cooperation between a team of computer scientists and psychologists resulting in a tool to support the work of therapists. Engaging in the project 3 years ago, we lived in a different reality unaware of how much importance the problems of stress and depression would take on.
