Are you someone experiencing existential dread?
Right now, you may be experiencing:
- Overwhelming anxiety or fear related to fundamental aspects of existence: death, meaninglessness, isolation, or freedom/responsibility
- A persistent sense of unease, dread, or impending doom that doesn’t seem tied to specific situations
- Feeling disconnected from life, others, or a sense of purpose
- Profound questions about the meaning of life that feel unanswerable and distressing
- A heightened awareness of mortality that feels paralyzing or terrifying
- Feeling fundamentally alone in the universe
- A sense that life lacks inherent meaning, leading to despair or apathy
- This dread potentially being amplified or triggered by past trauma, loss, or major life changes
You’re realizing that your existential dread is getting in the way of your life:
- It prevents you from engaging fully in life, pursuing goals, or finding joy
- Your relationships may suffer as you withdraw or struggle to connect due to overwhelming philosophical concerns
- You feel paralyzed by the big questions, unable to focus on daily living
- It fuels anxiety, depression, or hopelessness
- You may feel alienated from others who don’t seem preoccupied with these deep concerns
- The dread feels pervasive and inescapable, coloring your entire experience
You’re wondering…
- Why am I so consumed by these overwhelming questions about life and death?
- Is this just a philosophical crisis, or is it something more (like anxiety, depression, or trauma)?
- Can I find meaning and purpose even in the face of mortality and uncertainty?
- How can I cope with this profound sense of dread and anxiety?
- Could my past experiences be contributing to the intensity of these existential fears?
- Can therapy help me navigate these deep questions and find peace?
You’re longing for…
- A sense of peace and acceptance regarding the fundamental uncertainties of life.
- The ability to find meaning, purpose, and connection despite existential concerns.
- Relief from the paralyzing anxiety and dread.
- Tools to navigate profound questions without being overwhelmed.
- A way to integrate awareness of mortality into a life lived fully.
- Hope, resilience, and a grounded sense of self in the face of life’s biggest challenges.
