What is Existential Therapy?
Existential therapy is a strategy employed by some psychologists and counselors to help people come to terms with their fears, stresses, mental illnesses, or disabilities. The key tenet of existential therapy is the philosophical notion that individuals are entirely responsible for their own lives; the choices they make determine what happens to them. Existential therapists usually facilitate intensive psychotherapy sessions and behavior modification techniques to help people become more truthful with themselves and come to the ultimate realization that their own free will can bring about positive change in their lives.
