thanks bbc my note while listening Some people choose to have a walk in a green open space such as in the countryside which helps to relax and destress, especially for people suffering from mental health issues (clinical depression). Getting close and connecting to nature is like a tonic for us to feel more positive and be healthier. Today’s topic is about ecotherapy which is a formal type of treatment involving outdoor activities in nature. According to Patricia Hasbach, a clinical psychotherapist, she thinks ecotheraphy as a powerful tool to get people to develop their relationships with natural world without any medication. However, it’s not panacea which can erase grief and pain completely. From the view of Birgitta Gateesleben, a environmental psychologist, she explains biophilia is basically the way we’re innate to respond to the green space and nature. To be specific, our negative feelings are replaced by positive emotions in the natural environment.

ecotherapy is an alternative method of medication and is really healthy for mind refreshes

I love tree, water and birds of sound. Thanks bbc. I love all of you

[@nawarnawar5822]

Hi guys. I think everyone enjoys being surrounded by green trees and blue sky with white clouds in a lovely spring day. You know what, when I can't sleep at night, I always imagine myself to be there.

[@bbclearningenglish]

A good method to relax yourself at night! If you ever have further difficulties sleeping, try our guide to getting a good night's sleep here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fovHZmaKf9WgpbM

I usually rely on this programme for improving my English listening skills. And it works great for me. Please note that the newest edition about CHRISTMAS TREES is not still published in youtube. Eagerly waiting...

[@user-dm1du2sq1i]

I agree that connecting with nature can help to relax and de-stress. If I feel down in the dumps, I go outside and have a long walk until I’m tired, or ride a bike in the countryside. My mother does gardening and she always says that, if I felt deadly upset and depressed, I should go to the garden and work. In the evening you wouldn’t have grim thoughts, you just would be extreme tired) nature is a working tool to calm down.

[@bbclearningenglish]

Sounds like some good advice from your mother! 😃😃

[@ngocthachtruong9889]

When I got infected by Coronavirus, talking to my mom was the best tonic for me.

[@moulmour]

Thanks a lot BBC!

[@bbclearningenglish]

You're welcome!

[@letsplayroblox6062]

Honestly i like British accent. It sounds smooth and beautiful. I can't get over it. I've heard about ecotherapy. Many people in my country use the way of being calm they hug trees. Yes, it's a hug. People say that it makes everyone more energy and happier. However it helps people to be more empathetic, listening to your inner voice and other people's

[@brigittesaint-pe2604]

Hello to both of you , Hi Everyone Once again, I can't help thinking how much English is similar to French. Look at : Tonic = Tonique Horticulture = Horticulture Panacea = Panacée Therapeutic = Thérapeutique Innate = Inné Thanks. Cousins 🙂

[@bbclearningenglish]

Hi Cousin! Yes, we do share a common foundation it seems. It's really convenient when we want to learn one another's languages, for sure! Thanks for sharing the French with us so that we can learn as well! 👍

[@brigittesaint-pe2604]

@@bbclearningenglish Absolutely. However, althought the words are often similar, your English pronunciation annihilates our similarities....🙂

[@bhartigoel2784]

French is also similar to Hindi. Hindi is a language which is widely spoken in India. For example, Tu = Tu; Savon = Saboon; Nom = Naam; Ananas = Ananas (Pineapple)

[@nawarnawar5822]

Hi. Though English and French share so many words that are almost the same , but both languages come from different origins or roots. The English language is part of Germanic languages, but the French language is part of Romance languages The structure and word order are different.

[@brigittesaint-pe2604]

@@nawarnawar5822 Hello The Duke of Normandy invaded Great Britain in 1066 and was crowned King of England. The French language therefore became very important in this country and left an indelible mark. So, English has latin roots too, not only german roots. The vocabulary is very similar to the French vocabulary . Only the structure of the sentences is different and their conception of Time. The perfect present and their different futures are a bit complicated for the French.

[@anjumanarayeasmeen297]

[@irenefang246]

my note when listening ecotherapy is an alternative medical method which we leave the hectic lifestyle in the city and connect to natural environment. It has proven to be tonic and help us de-stress. Biophilia is a innate tendency towards nature. We can start with doing arts in forests or wander around parks

[@annacambraia4931]

Thank you so.

My sentence: Ecotherapy is a type of medication by interacting with nature elements like forest, river, raindrops which cures.people clinical depression amd make them tonic. It is not hard to understand a soaring growth of ecotherapy business for urban citizens who invariably live under pressure. Appreciated BBC in a deadly earnest.
