What’s This Course About?

‘My name is Аlfried Laengle and I am a clinical psychotherapist and successor of the famous Austrian psychiatrist and philosopher Viktor Frankl. I have 40 years of practical experience and teaching behind me.

'I invite you to join my online course on working with anxiety using existential analysis. We will cover two following levels of interaction with anxiety: the personal level of everyday anxiety that we all face and more severe forms of clinical anxiety that can paralyze thoughts or cause panic attacks, which sometimes can even lead to a general anxiety disorder.

'My intentions are to offer you a deeper understanding of anxiety: its deep roots and development, as well as how we can cope with it in our day-to-day routine and help our clients to efficiently manage it.

'You will find this course suitable not only for your professional growth, but also for your personal life. I sincerely hope to see you there!’

Best Regards,

Аlfried Laengle

Why Existential Analysis?

Existential analysis (EA) is a modern approach to existential therapy. EA is about helping you accept your own emotions and behavior, as well as live in harmony with your "inner peace" with more freedom and awareness.

This approach is aimed at recognizing the individual’s identity, helping him/her to discover the meaning and satisfaction of living a harmonious life following your true inner values. Through the lens of this personality-centered approach, we are going to examine the phenomenology of anxiety, for it may conceal some deep and profound feelings about our own purpose in this world.

How Will This Course Help You?

You will gain a clear understanding of the mechanisms behind the origins of fear in order to build your hypotheses and strategies for help effectively.

You will acquire self-awareness on the topic of anxiety and fear, as well as understanding of how to manage these emotions in your life.

You will learn from the work of the Founder of existential analysis and subsequently will be able to implement his knowledge and experience into your own work.

You will examine all of the subtleties of using the most challenging and effective methods with fear and anxiety, as well as enhance your arsenal of working practices.
