Tracking the Wild Woman Archetype: A Guide to Becoming a Whole, Indivisible Woman

Tracking the Wild Woman Archetype: A Guide to Becoming a Whole, Indivisible Woman with Dr. Stacey Shelby.

By midlife, a woman may become conscious of some of the ways culture has overdomesticated her, and she may have become aware of her own wild, instinctual animal nature. The wild woman archetype within a woman’s psyche is an expression of her innate, soulful essence. Many women within patriarchy become socialized in a way that leads them to be overly “civilized” or overly “domesticated” almost from birth and that domestication affects how they express their sexuality and conduct relationships. When a woman becomes conscious of the wild woman archetype, she then becomes free to explore sexuality and relationships on her own terms.
