Going Feral in Academia

In the fall of 2015, I started a doctoral program in Psychology at the University of West Georgia because I had hopes of finding new ways to support positive cultural change at a macro level, instead of only through individual or group counseling work.  After the first year, I discovered that my interests were not aligned with the program, and I decided to return to counseling work while still pursuing my interests outside of the Academy. 

In one of my classes, we were instructed to keep a blog of writings about a mind-body practice we would practice throughout the semester.  I decided to focus on "rewilding" practices and wrote about my experience at feralanimal.blogspot.com.  It was a very impactful process for me that actually contributed to my decision to leave the doctoral program.  I share it here because I often used various expressive therapy modalities, including creative writing, movement, and image, as a way to explore themes of rewilding, and it is one example of how the expressive therapies can be applied to a wide range of inquiries.
