Existential therapy

Existential therapy works directly with the tensions inherent in human freedom—responsibility, mortality, meaninglessness, and isolation—rather than treating them as problems to solve. It assumes that psychological suffering often arises when we avoid these realities, and that facing them squarely can liberate genuine choice and authenticity.
