The Wildness of the Body (Part 2 of 2)
A Recorded Webinar with Nick Totton & Robert Rees
In this powerful, thought-provoking session, Nick Totton and Robert Rees take their earlier conversation on wildness deeper into the heart of clinical practice.
Totton and Rees explore how contacting the body’s spontaneous, “wild” nature transforms relational psychotherapy, helps clients reclaim experiences that have been pathologised or silenced and opens space for more truthful, embodied ways of being.
The discussion weaves together themes of domestication, patriarchy, trauma, ADHD and diagnosis, cultural norms around “acceptable” expression, climate anxiety, spirituality and the presence of “other-than-human” people in and outside the therapy room.
Highlights include:
- Wildness as spontaneous, embodied aliveness - a vital counterpoint to controlling, disembodied and patriarchal models of therapy
- How therapists’ own bodies, breath, sensations and responses become crucial guides in the work, and why embodiment must be mutual rather than focused only on the client
- Honest discussion of how many so-called “problems” are attempts at solution in a culture with a very narrow bandwidth for authentic expression
- Reflections on working outdoors and with “other-than-human” people, and on welcoming spirituality
