The New P&L speaks to Annahita Nezami - Founder of Overview Effect Therapy & EarthScapeVR, Chartered Psychologist, Author, Speaker

This week’s guest is the amazing Annahita Nezami - Chartered Psychologist, Author, Speaker and Founder of Overview Effect Therapy & EarthScapeVR.  Annahita serves as an advisor to multiple organisations. She is a systems thinker advocating for positive social change and has dedicated her professional life to researching the science and therapeutic value of the Overview Effect. The Overview Effect, a term coined by space philosopher, Frank White, describes a transcendent-like state that can emerge when witnessing remarkable natural landscapes from an expansive vantage point, and Earthgazing from orbit or the Moon is the epitome of this experience. Several years ago Annahita interviewed NASA astronauts to investigate the therapeutic benefits of the Overview Effect, as part of her doctoral research. She soon realised that the Overview Effect offers comparable results to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and nature-based experiences in promoting eco-transcendence and eudaemonic well-being. After completing her doctoral studies, Annahita co-founded EarthscapeVR (formally VROE), where she helps create evidence-led Extended Reality (XR) multisensory experiences based on the Overview Effect.
