How to make peace with your existential dread

from Life Matters - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

If you've gone to see a counsellor or psychologist, you might be wrestling with tough questions: am I in the right relationship? Is my work right for me? How do I cope with my dysfunctional family? We don't usually ask more abstract questions like: what's the meaning of life? Can I ever truly know another person? Or, how do I make peace with the fact that everyone I love will die? But for father-daughter psychologist duo Ross Menzies and Rachel Menzies, the big, unanswerable questions are their specialty. They argue treating anxiety about these more existential issues may be greatly beneficial when it comes to treating more generalised anxiety and other mental health concerns.
