Marea, ca formă de terapie. Cum ne ajută marile întinderi de apă în lupta cu trauma, anxietatea și dependențele?

Exposure to water bodies is increasingly recognized as a complementary method for treating trauma, anxiety, and addictions. Studies indicate that 'blue-space therapy' can alleviate stress and enhance mental recovery. Veterans like Dave Phillips have found healing through programs that incorporate sailing and water activities. The concept gained traction after the publication of 'Blue Mind' in 2014, which highlights the mental health benefits of being near water. Organizations using aquatic activities for therapeutic purposes have surged, with over 100 initiatives worldwide. Experts emphasize that while these therapies are beneficial, they should complement, not replace, traditional medical treatments.
