What is Travel Therapy?

Why a change of scenery might be the nervous system reset you didn’t know you needed.

Travel therapy isn’t about running away. It’s about returning to yourself.

Even short getaways can offer profound perspective, clarity, and healing. Not because of where you go—but because of what you leave behind.

🧭 More Than a Trip—It’s a Reset

Removing yourself from your usual environment reduces stimulus, stressors, and roles. This makes space for your nervous system to recalibrate.

Think: nature walks, intentional solitude, local wellness spots

Journaling at sunrise with no Wi-Fi

Even a one-night stay somewhere quiet

You’re not escaping—you’re making room for recovery.

🌙 Rest as a Healing Practice

Your body processes more than you realize. Sometimes rest + quiet = your most productive reset.
