Beschreibung

Existential therapy is a deeply philosophical approach to psychotherapy, grounded in the belief that life’s greatest challenge is navigating its inherent uncertainties while striving to create meaning. At its core, this approach invites individuals to confront the universal dilemmas of existence: freedom, responsibility, isolation, mortality, and the search for purpose. These existential concerns, though often unsettling, are also the catalysts for personal growth and transformation. 
In a world increasingly defined by chaos, existential therapy offers a path to clarity. It does not seek to provide simple answers or quick solutions but instead fosters a deeper understanding of the self. The process requires embracing the discomfort of life’s unanswered questions and exploring the choices that define who we are. This journey of self-discovery helps clients uncover their authentic values and live in alignment with them, even in the face of life’s inevitable challenges. 
The roots of existential therapy lie in the existentialist philosophy of thinkers such as Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche, who emphasized individuality and the importance of living authentically. Later, philosophers like Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre explored the intricacies of existence, freedom, and the weight of human choice. These ideas profoundly influenced psychologists like Viktor Frankl, Rollo May, and Irvin Yalom, who brought existential philosophy into the realm of therapeutic practice.
