Fishing Therapy....

The difference between fishing and fishing therapy is the use of fishing as a therapeutic tool to teach mindfulness and stress relief, staying in the moment and using the metaphors and lessons that are learned on the water to apply to help a persons life.

When you are fishing, your awareness heightens and this is a great link to being able to observe your thoughts and feelings in the moment. It also gives a powerful natural setting, where you are at one with nature.

Catching fish could be called a random reinforcer from behavioral psychology, we never know when it is exactly going to happen, but the anticipation can create a yearning and drive to experience more. This is a great metaphor for wanting more healing, passion and positivity in ones life.
