About this episode

How to live a meaningful life? An existential perspective

 

The questions, realities, limitations, and paradoxes of existence—endings, choice, freedom, meaning—are all themes of existential psychology. 

 

In this episode, in conversation with Christina Khoury - Psychotherapist, Doctorate Counselling Psychology, Existential Psychotherapy - we discuss why it’s important to ask these questions and explore the concept of meaning—what it is, why it matters, and how to discover what’s truly meaningful for you.
