Existential therapy explores the fundamental questions of our existence: the meaning of life, solitude, uncertainty, and death. These reflections become particularly important during life transitions such as career changes, breakups, or the loss of a loved one. Popularized by Irvin Yalom, this approach encourages us to take control of our destiny: “Not taking control of the course of your life is to reduce existence to a mere accident.” We also examine the fragility of life, as described by Haruki Murakami: “In a hundred years, none of these people – including me – will be on this earth. We will all have turned to ash or dust… Why do I go to all this trouble? Why struggle so desperately to survive?”
