Cooking and baking create a feeling of accomplishment, making you feel better. Eating what you have made also makes your brain release a decent amount of dopamine hormone. As a result, your mood improves.
How Can It Improve Mental Health
Helps You to Stay in the Present Moment
In a similar fashion as meditation, cooking and baking helps you stay in the present moment. This fosters relaxation and reduces the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Boosts Your Creativity
Baking improves your creativity. This triggers a feeling of accomplishment that makes you happy throughout the day.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
