Level -115.2: Touch Grass Therapy is technically a secret, ‘therapeutic’ sublevel of Level -115. Here you will be greeted by the good doctor, Dr. Astrid F. Nightingale. OK! Astrid is a Boomer several centuries over. He will not complain about millennials killing stable industries, eating avocados, saving money, and spending less.

He will encourage you, , to touch grass.

Do not pay any mind to my fellow dinosaurs. They are out of touch with the struggles of your generation. You all are making good progress. Your thoughts, feelings, and emotions are valid. But... you, , are spending too much time on your electronic devices. The lights of your electronic devices can damage your eyes after prolonged use… take a break… get outside and touch grass.
...
...
Astrid whispers in concern: Are they, , still here?
Amygdala whispers in return: I believe so, father....
Astrid responds not concealing his panic: Why are they still here!!?
Amygdala maintains his poise: I do not know...but it would be rude to send them away. Maybe... they do not want to leave. He pauses before resuming grimly. What if they are trapped here....
The discomfort in Astrid's voice was heavy: I hope that is not the case.
Amygdala is not reassuring by saying with pity: It is a strong possibility, father... you know that....
It is clear Astrid does not want to consider the possibility: Let us hope they escape...
...
...
Astrid resumes loudly with forced and unease enthusiasm: My deepest apologizes...!! I... I guess you are not physically ready to go outside yet... 
[Sigh.]
Level -115.2: Touch Grass Therapy is also a spatial anomaly consisting of a sunny and clear blue sky, ambient temperatures, and 12:12 light/dark cycle. It also harbors a pleasant and gentle breeze that is carrying the inviting and pleasant aroma of fresh, spring grass. This level also consists of a vast open field consisting of...
You guessed it...!
Grass for touching!
Youth today want to stay inside, play videogames, read posts on The Backrooms Wiki, and follow less than stellar humans on social media. There are two things on this list I will endorse, but please... find time to go outside and touch grass.
I hope you go outside soon... until then, Level -115.2: Touch Grass Therapy will do.
[Astrid is staring at you, , in judgement, concern, and mild disappointment that only a doting father can show.]

My father only wants what is best for you. It is not healthy staring at a screen all day...
The sun offers vitamin D which is good for your bones.
I do hope you decide, after reviewing this page, that you will go out and touch grass. 
Amygdala murmurs to himself sadly, but you can still hear him:I do hope you are reading this from a screen in The Frontrooms and not here...
== What Grass Should You Touch? ==
If you have a preferred grass, please, let my helper, Amygdala, assist you in selecting your choice of grass. Let him know, if you have an allergy to grass , we have other plants for your touch. 
Below are four examples of some of the grass we have available for you to touch...
=== Touch Grass Catalogue and Sampler ===
== Kentucky Bluegrass ==
This grass is popular in the Northern parts of the U.S found in The Frontrooms. It grows well in deep shade and is a deep, green color. The blades are V-shaped and pointed. The texture is soft and inviting. This grass will shrill in delight, "Yee-Haw!!" upon you stepping on it!! This grass demonstrates southern hospitality as it will bake you a pie and serve you sweetened iced tea.
== Dichondra ==
This grass is popular in The Frontrooms territories, California and Arizona. It grows as a dense, creeping turf. It is a pale, green color. The blades are broadleaf. You might smell sage and hear the gentle song of Hopi women when interacting with this grass. This grass has also been known to induce a meditative and hallucinogenic trance in grass touchers. Some grass touchers claimed to have seen their spirit guide.
== Bermuda Grass ==
This grass is popular in golf courses of The Frontrooms. It grows as a thick, dense turf, and it is a deep green color. The blades are sharp and pointed. You might hear a disembodied shout of someone yelling, "Fore!!" Some explorers touching this grass reported finding golf balls in this grass. Some explorers have disappeared to only reappear later, claiming they played 1 to 4 rounds of golf.
== Centipede Grass ==
This grass is popular in the Southeast lawns of the U.S. found in The Frontrooms. It grows as a course-textured turf, and it is an apple green color. The blades are V-shaped, pointed and slender. You might notice that this grass waves and wiggles in anticipation of visitors. Some explorers interacting with this grass reported getting tickled upon laying on this grass. Yes! This grass likes to tickle visitors to elevate their dopamine and serotonin. I will strongly discourage selecting this grass if you are not fond of being tickled.
== When Should You Touch Grass? ==
As a clinician in the field of psychology of The Backrooms, touching grass should be done at least once a day for 20 minutes a day. If you are not touching the grass, least you are outside. Below is a list of when you really should touch grass.

*When all of your social interactions and activities have become digital.
*Being a terrible human being on the internet ranging from trolling to online stalking to [censored to protect younger readers].
*When you call someone else out for their bullsh*t? Really... this would be the inappropriate time to touch grass. This individual is clearly deflecting. Hold their feet to the fire!!

== FAQ concerning Touch Grass Therapy ==
Question 1:</U> Is this level a Joke Level?Answer: I know what it is marked as but... it is an honorable Joke Level like The Behavioral Suite is technically not a canon of The Backrooms. It is a theory... I created both of these in a mentally diminished state. I am still mental compromised. Besides the point, most people did not find this funny. Do let me explain. Humor is subjective. What I find amusing will not necessary translate as funny to someone else. I am old as h*ll. I am out-of-touch to what most young folks deem funny. I do not mean to be cruel when I say this, but your sense of humor is completely lost on me. I can respect that my dry and vanilla sense of humor will be lost on some of you.
Question 2:</U> What is this now?Answer: This level does/does not function like a Joke Level The documentation of this 'reality' harbors a clinical and instructive tone, despite seeding it with a few quirky and sarcastic remarks. The template included was to help make it look more convincing. With that said, it is more of a sub-level with charm that I moved closer to my office in Level -115.
Question 3:</U> Why did I create this?Answer: I have manifested clinical depression after getting trapped in The Backrooms. I created this reality as a means to help you, , and I cope.
I do not look or act depressed?
We all have our coping mechanisms., . Some of them are maladaptive.
Do not pay me any mind. Pay no mind to the cracks in reality. Acknowledging them will do you no good here. Stay present with me for a bit.
Youth comes with naivety. Ignorance is bliss. Old age and experience will strip you of your innocence. Reality is often bittersweet. Depression has no face. Most people, with time, master the dark art of putting on a brave face... I am putting on a brave for your sake.
