I find this topic so interesting and you have definitely done a good job your discussion and research! :) I would love to see another case study or maybe expand on the first case study to give it more detail! Also feel free to check out my topic- https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2020/Nature_deficit_disorder&redirect=no#quiz0 as you might find this useful in your topic :)))

Suggestion to look into Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Hi! This is such a cool topic, I cannot wait to see what you come up with! :) I don't know if this is completely relevant as it doesn't concern therapy, but may I suggest also looking into Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and connecting that to how forests provide humans with these needs? One example might be something like firewood for warmth! Here is an interesting link which I hope can help! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S138993411300124X?casa_token=_fpWtv0raGgAAAAA:FCh1z-211-EtY9A4MnbiLBQh6SgJGTpqWht0JTVpAHqisE0e7DSpIn6WKRbaiUFSH114t04IoKk -- U3169316 (discuss • contribs) 03:06, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Heading casing response
Thank you for letting me know, I am so used to doing title casing! I will make sure to fix this throughout my book chapter.

Hi, super interesting choice of topic.

I thought you might be able to include a physiological sub heading under 'applications'. This study 'The physiological effects of Shinrin-yoku' has heaps of citations so it seems like might be an important part of the literature. It shows that forest therapy can reduce cortisol, pulse rate and lower blood pressure.

Park, B. J., Tsunetsugu, Y., Kasetani, T., Kagawa, T., & Miyazaki, Y. (2010). The physiological effects of Shinrin-yoku (taking in the forest atmosphere or forest bathing): evidence from field experiments in 24 forests across Japan. Environmental health and preventive medicine, 15(1), 18.

I recognise that your question is to answer how it affects emotion. But there seems to be a lot of literature that links biological processes as an determinant of emotion. So there might be justifiable position if you wish to explore it further.
