Research behind the Wilder Method™
The Wilder Method is a groundbreaking therapeutic approach that integrates various disciplines, including the Hero’s Journey, developmental psychology, and existential philosophy, to provide a holistic and practical framework for mental health. By incorporating artificial intelligence and leveraging cutting-edge technology, the Wilder Method explores the brain’s untapped potential, with a particular focus on the often-overlooked Instinctual Drive. This drive is seen as a foundational source of intelligence, which has been largely ignored by traditional therapies that primarily target the emotional, cognitive, and moral aspects of the brain—represented by the Ego and Superego.
Rooted in the foundational theories of Freud and Jung, the Wilder Method modernizes their insights on instinctual drives and the unconscious mind. These classical concepts are updated with the latest advancements in biology, brain science, and evolutionary theory. The method seeks to reverse the current trend in psychology that has moved away from these core principles, resulting in a lack of practical solutions for fostering personal growth and resilience.
At the heart of the Wilder Method is the belief that humans, like other mammals, are deeply connected to their primal brain, which is key to mental growth and adaptation. Reconnecting with this primal part of ourselves restores our mental resilience, which has diminished in modern times due to neglect of these biological foundations. This primal intelligence, often marveled at in classical literature and harnessed by elite athletes, is crucial for driving survival instincts, peak performance, and mental strength.
The Wilder Method taps into this ancestral intelligence, offering individuals a way to access their inner resources for overcoming challenges. By blending insights from psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience, it offers a fresh perspective on mental health, allowing individuals to transcend symptoms of mental distress and unlock their full potential.
This approach challenges the limitations of conventional, evidence-based therapies, which typically address only the Ego and Superego, and highlights the importance of embracing the Instinctual Drive. Through years of experimentation and refinement, Bill Wilder crafted this unique method, blending classical psychological theories with modern research, creating a powerful tool for personal transformation that bridges the gap between historical wisdom and modern therapeutic practices.
In summary, the Wilder Method is built on a fusion of classical theories, modern brain science, and historical knowledge. It offers a new frontier for growth and healing, emphasizing the integration of primal intelligence and modern technology to create a comprehensive, action-oriented approach to mental health and personal transformation.

Wilder Wellness Center Mission Statement
At Wilder Wellness Center, our mission is to help you tap into your Instinctual Drive (ID) Intelligence—that fierce, untamed force within you that’s been buried under the perceived need to not be rejected or fail, which creates a dependency that keeps you from living fully. We believe that true transformation doesn’t happen by sitting in a chair talking about your problems. Therapy happens in life, when you get out of your head, into your gut, and start embracing the discomfort that life throws at you, beginning to do your life differently.
We use the best of conventional methods but also draw on methods that people have used throughout time as the secret to unlocking anxiety and fear. The Wilder Method is about getting back to instinctual presence—to be more like the animals in nature, moving beyond overthinking and simply being.At Wilder Wellness, we guide you on a journey to reconnect with this inner power, helping you break free from the chains of overthinking and the trap of trying to meet everyone else’s expectations.
Our approach is built on the belief that every challenge you face is an opportunity to step out of the victim mentality and become the hero of your own story. We’re here to help you reclaim your life by reconnecting with your primal instincts, embracing your fears, and living a life that’s unapologetically authentic. At Wilder Wellness, we don’t just offer therapy—we offer a chance to confront what’s holding you back, help you reclaim your power, and unleash the unstoppable force that’s been inside you all along. This is where you stop playing small, stop overthinking, and start living the life you were meant to live: bold, fearless, and fully alive.
