How to find meaning and fulfilment in life?

The existential-analytical approach with Dr Alfried Längle

We all want a fulfilling and happy life – real lasting happiness. But this can only come from true inner fulfilment. Of course, life has its difficulties, challenges, and tragedies, but there are certain skills we can learn to help us cope.  What are these competencies that can help us feel anchored and in-touch with our values and direction in life?  What will enable us to overcome life’s difficulties? 

How can anxiety and depression be managed so that we can reach a deep feeling of satisfaction? 

This talk by Dr Alfried Längle gives details about the existential analytical approach to finding meaning and inner fulfilment, which recognises that our existence is built on fundamental motivations, which enable life with “inner consent”.  Perspectives to the work in psychotherapy are given.

This talk is a taster session for Dr Längle’s new London diploma course in Existential Analysis. The four-and-a-half-year course, run by the Viennese School of Existential Analysis, is aimed at healthcare professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, counsellors, coaches and anyone who wants to deepen their psychological knowledge. 

The 18-module course will provide unique skills in existential analysis and logotherapy and will qualify people to practice counselling, psychotherapy and coaching in the UK. ​

The Existential Analysis training programme was created by Dr Längle in 1982 and is based on foundations developed together with Viktor Frankl, as well as Längle’s own later research. Today, Dr Laengle’s Master’s programmes on Existential Analysis are currently taught at Moscow's Higher School of Economics, the Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, the University of Salzburg, and at Santiago de Chile. 

Training in Existential Analysis is already available in continental Europe and North and South America and now it is finally available in the UK. For more information see: https://www.gle-uk.com/existential-analysis-course
