Anxiety In The Forest

Welcome to the Forest! Anxiety is a common experience that many of us face from time to time. It can show up as that fluttery feeling in your stomach before a big presentation or as racing thoughts keeping you up at night. While a little anxiety can be motivating, too much of it can become overwhelming. Let's explore how we can tame the anxious butterflies together in the Forest.🌿🌳 #mentalhealth #anxiety #foresttherapy
