The question of life’s meaning is deeply personal and varies from person to person. It often encompasses finding one’s purpose, achieving fulfillment, and forming connections with others. For some, this might involve nurturing relationships, accomplishing personal goals, or contributing to the greater good. Discovering what gives life meaning can provide direction and motivation.
Therapy can be a valuable tool in exploring and understanding the meaning of life. Various therapeutic methods, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy, allow individuals to delve into their values, beliefs, and goals. Therapy offers a safe environment to reflect on what truly matters, helping to uncover deeper motivations and aspirations.
Therapy can also assist individuals in overcoming barriers that may impede their sense of purpose. By addressing issues like anxiety, depression, or past traumas, therapy can help clear the path towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life. It fosters self-awareness and personal growth, enabling individuals to live more authentically and with greater satisfaction.
Our Practitioners:
“It is my belief that every person is deserving of a meaningful, creatively rich life. However, this same life can feel littered with junctures and obstacles, whether it’s a job that feels meaningless, relationships that no longer serve, or simply an ongoing, nagging sense of life passing by in a blur that has all colour. Therapy with me encourages you to look not only at the cogs of your life but also your approach to it. A psychodrama psychotherapist by training, my focus is to help you rediscover spontaneity when you feel stuck and embrace creativity where things feel bland. Whether you have specific goals in mind for redefining the meaning of your life, or simply want some space to explore I can offer you a safe, nonjudgmental space in which to be and to become.” Alexa Edelist, Psychotherapist and Couple Counsellor >
“Meaning of Life – Finding Purpose and Overcoming Anxiety with Hypnotherapy
The search for meaning in life is a deeply personal journey. At times, existential anxiety, self-doubt, and stress can cloud our sense of direction, leaving us feeling uncertain about our purpose. Through Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), Future Hypnotherapy, and Regression Therapy, I help clients explore their inner values, release limiting beliefs, and create a fulfilling vision for their future.
Why Do We Struggle with Life’s Meaning?
Questions like “What is my purpose?” or “Am I living a meaningful life?” often arise during life transitions, personal crises, or moments of deep introspection. These thoughts can sometimes lead to:
🔹 Existential Anxiety – Feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainty of life’s purpose.
🔹 Emotional Stress – Experiencing frustration, confusion, or sadness about one’s path.
🔹 Self-Doubt & Limiting Beliefs – Questioning one’s worth or the impact of one’s choices.
Instead of viewing this uncertainty as a problem, I guide clients to see it as an opportunity for self-exploration and growth.
How Hypnotherapy Helps in the Search for Meaning
1. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) – Reframing Thought Patterns: CBH helps clients identify and reshape negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and self-doubt. CBH empowers individuals to shift from “I don’t know my purpose” to “I am open to discovering what brings me fulfillment.”
2. Future Hypnotherapy – Creating a Meaningful Vision: Future hypnotherapy allows clients to mentally step into their ideal future, experiencing
clarity, purpose, and fulfillment. When the mind has already “experienced” a meaningful and purposeful future, it becomes more motivated and confident in making it a reality.
3. Regression Therapy – Releasing Emotional Blocks from the Past: Some struggles with life’s meaning stem from past experiences, childhood conditioning, or unresolved emotions. By addressing unresolved emotions, clients free themselves from self-doubt and gain a clearer sense of direction.
Rather than seeing life’s meaning as something to be “found,” this approach helps clients actively create meaning by living with intention and purpose.” Yuka Mando, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy>
