What is Existential Therapy?
Existential Therapy is a philosophical approach to psychotherapy that focuses on exploring the fundamental aspects of human existence. Developed by existential philosophers and psychologists such as Viktor Frankl, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Rollo May, this therapy examines issues such as meaning, freedom, isolation, and mortality. The goal is to help you confront these existential concerns and find personal meaning and purpose in your life.
How Does it Work?
- Exploring Existential Concerns: We begin by delving into the fundamental aspects of your existence, including questions about meaning, purpose, freedom, and mortality. This exploration helps you understand and address the deeper issues that may be influencing your thoughts and feelings.
- Confronting Life’s Challenges: Existential Therapy encourages you to face and embrace the inherent uncertainties and challenges of life. By confronting these issues directly, you can develop a greater sense of acceptance and resilience.
- Finding Meaning and Purpose: We work with you to identify and pursue what is truly meaningful and important in your life. This involves exploring your values, passions, and goals to create a sense of purpose and direction.
- Authentic Living: We support you in making choices that align with your true self and values. This involves examining how societal expectations or personal fears may be impacting your ability to live authentically.
- Accepting Responsibility: Existential Therapy emphasizes personal responsibility and the freedom to make choices. We help you recognize and embrace your ability to shape your own life and take ownership of your decisions and actions.
