EXISTENTIAL
Meaning & Purpose
A loss of meaning and purpose, feeling that life lacks direction or significance, can cause profound distress and is addressed in therapy.
What is Meaning & Purpose?
Questions of meaning often arise after major life transitions, loss, retirement, or in midlife. When the sense of purpose is absent, depression, emptiness and existential anxiety often follow. Narrative and positive psychology approaches are particularly suited to these questions.
