| The human existential approach to therapy emphasizes the exploration of life's ultimate questions and the search for meaning in one's existence. This approach acknowledges the inherent anxieties and uncertainties that individuals face as they navigate their lives. By delving into existential concerns, therapists aim to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their values. For example, a therapist using this approach may work with a client who is experiencing a crisis of identity and purpose. Together, they would explore the client's values, beliefs, and aspirations, encouraging self-reflection and introspection. Through this process, the client may gain insight into their true passions and desires, leading them to make meaningful choices aligned with their authentic self. By addressing existential concerns, individuals can achieve a greater sense of fulfillment, personal growth, and live more purposefully. |

Self-actualisation is defined as an innate or inborn force that moves the person to become more complex, balanced, and integrated, i.e. achieving the complexity and balance without being fragmented. Integrated means a sense of whole, being a complete person, being in essence the same person in spite of the variety of experiences that one is subjected to. |
