What if your chronic anxiety, loneliness, and despair aren't personal failings — they're actually symptoms of a foundational rupture from the living world?
If you've been searching for "ecopsychology," "nervous system regulation and nature," or "how to feel connected to the earth," this one's for you.
You'll learn:
Why Julie calls the human/nature divide a "foundational trauma", and how it shows up in your body as chronic dysregulation, anxiety, and despair long before it shows up as an environmental crisis
The difference between a human-centric and a kin-centric worldview, and simple language shifts (like "linked, not ranked") that help you feel it in real time
A repeatable practice, rooted in Forest Therapy guide training, for re-opening sensory, reciprocal communication with the more-than-human world, starting today
In this episode, psychotherapist and author Julie Brams unpacks why Western psychology built its entire foundation on a false premise: that humans are separate from, and above, the rest of nature. Drawing on 30+ years as a clinician and her book The Nature Embedded Mind, Julie explains why that premise isn't just bad philosophy, but a documented source of nervous system dysregulation, loneliness, and despair. We explore what it actually feels like to shift from witnessing nature to being in relationship with it, why children already know how to do this, and the simple, sensory practices that let any adult find their way back.
