The psychological healing power of nature
Dr. Berg points out that birdwatching is one of the simplest, cheapest, yet most effective forms of psychotherapy .
A British study involving 270 participants found that spending just a few hours observing birds significantly reduced anxiety and depression, while also boosting well-being. This therapeutic effect is not a psychological suggestion, but rather comes from "attention shifting and repair": when people focus on observing nature, their thoughts automatically detach from stress and negative emotions, allowing the brain to regain balance.

Why can birdwatching relieve stress?
-
Attention Shift
The process of observing, identifying, and listening to birdsong puts the brain into a focused and relaxed state, which helps reduce anxiety and mental overload. -
Natural Interaction
Listening to birdsong, looking at the blue sky, and observing the shadows of trees can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and positive emotions. -
Positive Focus
Focusing on natural details can reduce negative emotional cycles and help people rebuild a sense of psychological stability.
How to get started with birdwatching therapy
Dr. Berg suggests that you don't need expensive equipment or to go on a long hike — you can start from your own balcony, park, or backyard .
There are now many free apps (such as Picture This ) that can take photos and identify birds, plants, trees, or mushrooms, making observing nature more fun and educational.
He emphasized, " This is a therapy that can be implemented immediately; simply going outdoors can significantly improve your mood. "
