In this episode, we’re diving into the profound and often challenging experience of divorce as an existential crisis. Divorce can shake the very foundations of our identity, purpose, and sense of meaning. To explore this subject, I’m joined by two insightful psychotherapists: Ayse Hazir and Dom Palmer-Brown. Ayse completed her psychotherapy training at Regent’s University in London, where she specialised in Integrative and Existential Therapy. She brings a wealth of experience working with clients facing divorce, domestic abuse, and challenges around sexuality. Dom, who transitioned from an academic background into existential therapy, is passionate about helping others find clarity and validation in their experiences through the lens of existential thought.
Together, Ayse and Dom guide us through some key questions:
– What is an existential crisis, and why does divorce often feel like one? – How does divorce challenge our core sense of identity and meaning?
– What role do freedom and personal responsibility play in this transition?
– How can existential therapy help address feelings of isolation, uncertainty, and the daunting questions that come with making life-altering decisions?
Whether you’re going through a divorce or simply curious about how existential therapy might offer insights during major life changes, this episode sheds light on how to find meaning and navigate the crisis of divorce with resilience. Tune in to gain a new perspective on this transformative journey.
