EXISTENTIAL THERAPY
Existential therapy explores the core of human existence and deals with profound and universal themes such as death, freedom, responsibility and the search for meaning. This therapeutic approach is not just about treating specific psychological problems, but a profound philosophical exploration that encourages individuals to confront the fundamental aspects of their existence. It assumes that many psychological difficulties arise from confronting these existential realities and that confronting and accepting these realities can lead to a more authentic and meaningful life.
The essence of existential therapy lies in emphasizing the individual’s capacity for self-determination and the importance of making conscious and authentic choices. It is based on the belief that individuals are free and therefore responsible for their actions and their impact on their own lives and the world around them. By addressing existential issues, clients are encouraged to reflect on the direction of their lives, make sense of their experiences and develop a sense of meaning and value.
Existential therapists work by facilitating a dialog that helps individuals understand and reconcile existential dilemmas, promoting personal growth and existential courage. This approach is suitable for people facing a life transition, feeling a sense of emptiness or meaninglessness, or struggling with existential issues such as isolation, mortality and freedom.
For those who want to explore the depths of their existence and find a path to an authentic life in Dubai, Zita Chriszto offers professional existential therapy. This approach offers a unique opportunity to face life’s ultimate questions, achieve personal freedom and create a life of deeper meaning and fulfillment.
