HEALING 101: How Nature Restores Your Mind with Marc Berman

In this episode of Healing 101, I’m joined by neuroscientist Marc Berman to explore how our environment shapes the way we think, feel and function. As the days get longer and we naturally start spending more time outside, this conversation feels especially timely. We unpack attention restoration theory and the difference between the kind of focus that gets depleted through modern life and the kind that is gently restored through “soft fascination” found in nature. Marc shares simple, practical ways to reduce mental fatigue, from designing more restorative spaces to small daily habits that can help reset your mind. This is a hopeful reminder that even brief moments of connection with nature can support clarity, calm and a deeper sense of wellbeing.Find Marc:https://psychology.uchicago.edu/directory/marc-g-bermanBuy Marc's book: https://www.penguin.co.uk/authors/305368/marc-bermanStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodYouTube: youtube.com/@hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
