MEETING OF CARE PROFESSIONS 2018, Piacenza 24 May 2018. Therapeutic storytelling workshop: “THE IMAGINED TALE, storytelling set in Nature”.
Experience Nature produces improvements in both cognitive and emotional management, creating an immediate and regenerative sense of well-being. It therefore constitutes a useful care modality in reducing physical and pharmacological restraint for people with dementia.
Nature promotes mental and physical well-being by activating responses at the emotional, cognitive and physiological levels, up to and including reduction of heart rate, blood pressure and muscle tension, enabling recovery from stressful situations.
A game, an adventure, a projective psychological test. A tool for story-telling set in Nature. A non-pharmacological therapy.
Experiment conducted on 22 people with Alzheimer’s lasting 3 months: relaxing viewing of Experience Nature movies before painting workshop.
