RE: Psychology Addict # 23 | Existential Psychotherapy – When Psychology & Philosophy get together.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time I've read someone formally 'blend' psychology and philosophy.
The end result is a much more holistic view and understanding on how it all works.
Psychologically we tend to get 'stuck' in life due to having an overly physical and materialistic view on life.
That's where our anxiety derives and drives itself from.
Not understanding the basic fact that we are a spiritual being trapped in a human physical form.
Your essay offers a valuable bridge both in understanding and overstanding of psychology as a science (which you kindly wrote about in the other essay you wrote).
I've personally been practising this blend of psychology and philosophy in everything I do both on myself and with clients for last year or so.
The results are basically miraculous!
People I work with have so much better overall comprehension of how everything works and how they can self heal going forward.
They are also very able to reconcile their past and reframe their narrative to be able to lead a much more fulfilling life going forward.
Thank you so much for writing this.
