themes such as mortality, meaning, freedom, responsibility, anxiety, and aloneness as these
relate to a person's current struggle.
Goal of existential therapy: - ANSassist clients in their exploration of the existential "givens of
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.
Functions of therapist Existential: - ANS"fellow traveler" "we are all in this together" someone
just like us who has no judgment or opinion about our existence
Core tenets of therapy existential : - ANSCentral issue is freedom and responsibility. The I-Am
experience, normal and neurotic anxiety, guilt and guilt feelings, the three forms of world,
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.
