Existential therapy is a type of talk therapy that focuses on exploring the individual's experiences, free will, and the search for meaning in life. It helps people confront basic questions about existence, such as purpose, freedom, and death.

The goal of existential therapy is to help people find greater self-awareness, truthfulness, and a sense of meaning in their lives.
