I appreciate that you gave it a name. "Existential therapy" is definitely something I'm going to look into. I can read about it on my own, it might even be more helpful than involving a therapist.

I have read and studied Camus, Sarte, Simone de Beauvoir and I've always felt (uncomfortably) comfortable with Existentialism. But I haven't looked into existential therapy.

Thank you!
