Existential and Spiritual Therapy
What Is Existential Dread?
Existential dread is a deep sense of anxiety or fear related to life's ultimate meaning, purpose, or the inevitability of death. It often arises when individuals confront questions about their existence, the nature of reality, or the uncertainty of life’s direction. These thoughts can be accompanied by hopelessness, depression or feeling lost in one's life.
How Can Therapy Help?
Therapy can support people experiencing existential dread by offering a safe space to explore these profound questions without judgment, helping individuals navigate feelings of uncertainty and find personal meaning in their lives. Approaches like existential therapy or mindfulness-based therapies can encourage self-reflection, foster acceptance of life's impermanence, and help individuals develop a deeper, more grounded sense of purpose. In my experience, integrating psychospiritual perspectives can deeply support this kind of exploration as it can create a stronger connection to higher purpose, higher power, and feelings of hope. This can be explored through a number of techniques centred around mindfulness and consciousness.
