5. Kimberly is a young, single adult who claims that she doesn’t see any meaning in life. She is not clinically depressed or suicidal but claims that life is boring & she feels “alone in the world.” How would an Existential therapist help Kimberly?
An existential psychotherapist would begin like all other modalities of therapy; by building a therapeutic relationship with trust and respect so as to understand the subjective world of the client. Kimberly’s symptoms of isolation, meaningless, and lack of associated responsibility would be addressed by the therapist in a positive, non-directive fashion to help her face these anxiety causing issues. He would convey that there is balance to be sought in one’s life. That too little of one thing
