One of my favourite things, making videos about landscape photography, is when I am contacted by veterans suffering from PTSD who have used photography as means to heal.
The combination of being out in nature, getting some exercise, being present in the moment, and being creative is the perfect recipe for boosting your mental health and well being.
Check out the video in the note below for a little inspiration and to see the moment this image was made.

Great image Adam. I have just been diagnosed as having PTSD following 30+ year Police Service (even though I am retired for 3 years). Until now I thought I was suffering some stress and anxiety but not really knowing why. It was identified after an assessment and counselling session by Talking Therapies but they now say I have to be referred for more specific treatment / counselling. Unfortunately I’ll have to wait several months before getting any assistance on the NHS but thankfully I have a good support system and photography keeps me sane.
Love it 😍 had my own bout with PTSD the other day. Having an outlet is so nice 😊
