"Surfing is forced mindfulness – you have to be in the moment to do it."
Surfing isn't just about catching waves – it's a journey to self-discovery, healing, and finding peace within. In this episode of The Goodness Chick, Erin Lawler Patterson invites Josh Dickson, director of ResurfaceUK, to share how surfing can be a powerful form of therapy. Held in the picturesque setting of Morocco, ResurfaceUK offers week-long surf therapy retreats that combine the thrill of surfing with group and individual therapy sessions.
Josh explains how surfing forces mindfulness and allows participants to escape from everyday stressors, creating a unique platform for therapeutic change. The retreat's focus on positive psychology and trauma resolution helps individuals reconnect with themselves in a supportive environment. Erin and Josh explore how non-conventional methods like surf therapy can foster significant change, encouraging listeners to find their own 'surf therapy' – whether it's riding a bike, reading a book, or simply taking a walk.
The discussion emphasises the importance of setting small goals to boost self-esteem and achieve personal growth. So, if you're feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, perhaps it's time to discover your own therapeutic outlet that makes time stand still.
