I’ve never heard of Wild Therapy, but love the KonMari method and I’m so excited to find out what Wild Therapy means.

I’ve also debated a lot about my Substack name but ultimately stuck with my name as many novelists (me) actually do use their names.

Hi Charlotte,

Wild Therapy is a training set up by Nick Totton, and his book is a good (but sometimes dense) place to start. It's about all sorts of things. Lots of overlap with other eco-therapies. One of the most significant is including the world in the therapy process. Maybe we are out somewhere in nature and *allowing nature to be therapist*. I'll add it to my list of things to write a post about sometime!

Love this. I really enjoyed the book The Three Day Effect which I guess is an example of wild therapy, where a therapist takes addicts and abused women camping. Nature is definitely therapeutic!

I will check out his book. Thanks again!

I like both names! But "Just As You Are" sounds so welcoming, like open arms.
