Event Details
How important is it to pay attention to death in therapy? Should we ignore it, face it, or only deal with it when the client is being confronted with death in the world in some way?
Existential therapists take the view that death is the inevitable shadow side to life and that many human problems are ultimately related to death anxiety. Emmy will speak about ways in which death may figure in the therapy room in a revitalising manner.
