In our expansion into other areas of wellbeing, physical health has taken a backseat and it’s become taboo to talk about it as part of our wellness efforts.
We’ve forgotten how important our physical health is and most importantly, the positive impact things like exercise have on our mental and emotional health. After all, wellbeing is an interconnected concept. So, why not combine two good things for our wellbeing – exercise and therapy?
Today’s guest is William Pullen, founder of Dynamic Running Therapy, a psychotherapist and author. His passion is for getting people moving, a subject he speaks about in his TEDx talk "Movement is Medicine and his book, Run for Your Life.
William practices Integrative therapy in London and specializes in the treatment of depression, anxiety, problems of self-esteem and confidence, and substance abuse.
This interview starts off with what he refers to as his meltdown and he got past his depression. William tells us how he came up with the term and practice of Dynamic Running Therapy, what it is and its benefits. He then leaves us with a tangible tip involving an interesting concept called an empathy walk.
