In my Existential-Phenomenology Psychology class, my professor told us about a therapist who had a client who told him that she was being distracted by little men that fly around her and stress her out. The therapist told her to try catching some of these little men and put them into an envelope for the next session. They kept doing that each week and the client wasn't being harassed as much by the little men anymore. Really the thinking about how that school of psychology works is to address the problem as the problem according to the client rather than as the problem according to norms.
