Existential therapy focuses on free will, self-determination, and the search for meaning\u2014often centering on you rather than on the symptom. The approach emphasizes your capacity to make rational choices and to develop to your maximum potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The existential approach stresses that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013o All people have the capacity for self-awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013o Each person has a unique identity that can be known only through relationships with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013o People must continually re-create themselves because life\u2019s meaning constantly changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013o Anxiety is part of the human condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When It’s Used<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What else is existential therapy recommended for? Psychological problems\u2014like substance abuse\u2014result from an inhibited ability to make authentic, meaningful, and self-directed choices about how to live, according to the existential approach. Interventions often aim to increase self-awareness and self-understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existential psychotherapists try to comprehend and alleviate a variety of symptoms, including excessive anxiety, apathy, alienation, nihilism, avoidance, shame, addiction, despair, depression, guilt, anger, rage, resentment, embitterment, purposelessness, psychosis, and violence. They also focus on life-enhancing experiences like relationships, love, caring, commitment, courage, creativity, power, will, presence, spirituality, individuation, self-actualization, authenticity, acceptance, transcendence, and awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
