Cooking Therapy

Cooking and baking are recognized therapeutic tools for depression and anxiety — and for addiction as well. Cooking supports recovery because it asks for attention to detail, from ingredients to each step of the process, with small moments of joy hidden along the way. It keeps you focused on the present moment, letting go of the past and of worries about a future that has not yet arrived, easing stress and anxiety. It also brings you back to caring about your own physical health.
