I want to pick up another part of the ‘nature cure’ problem

When a woman writes about the outdoors, people often reach for the same narrative template. She walked, she felt better, the land healed her. It can read as wholesome encouragement, even harmless, but the effect is anything but neutral.

‘Nature cure’ quietly shifts the focus away from the systemic forces that harmed her in the first place.
