Therapy Goes Wild: “Fear Management, Now with Actual Tigers”
Therapists everywhere are embracing a bold new approach: exposure therapy powered by apex predators.
Introducing the “Deep Nature Reconnection Internship” at your local zoo—the only mental-health program where you confront your fears by stepping into a tiger enclosure armed with nothing but a bucket of raw meat and your therapist’s confidence in you.
They call it “hands-on healing.”
You call it “I should’ve just journaled.”
The program promises three outcomes:
You’ll detach from your smartphone.
You’ll reconnect with nature.
You’ll experience inner peace… or whatever emotion comes after pure terror.
Early participants say the program is transformative. After feeding a tiger, one said he no longer fears public speaking. Another said she no longer fears anything at all, including the meaninglessness of existence.
Finally, therapy with results you can feel—in your soul, and possibly in your leg.
