life", how these are sometimes ignored or denied, and how addressing them can ultimately lead
to a deeper, more reflective and meaningful existence. To expand self-awareness, to increase
choice potentials, to help clients accept responsibility for choosing, and to help the client
experience authentic existence.

significance of time, our human capacity to transcend the immediate situation.

Existential therapy rests on six key propositions - ANS1) We have the capacity for
self-awareness. (2) Because we are basically free beings, we must accept the responsibility that
accompanies our freedom. (3) We have a concern to preserve our uniqueness and identity; we
come to know ourselves in relation to knowing and interacting with others. (4) The significance
of our existence and the meaning of our life are never fixed once and for all; instead, we
re-create ourselves through our projects. (5) Anxiety is part of the human condition. (6) Death is
also a basic human condition, and awareness of it gives significance to living.
