You dont need therapy, you need to go camping! A short escape from the concrete jungle into the woods, can be just the thing you need to recharge and unplug at the same time!
Ofcourse, camping can seem a bit daunting, without the luxuries of a roof and a bed, not to say anything about modern plumbing. Fact is though, with the right prep and equipment, camping can be a very comfortable experience. The trick is in finding your own balance in roughing it out and seeking your comforts.
