The journey towards loving myself has led me towards learning about existentialism in this very moment. How do you think you've been able to apply the principles of existentialism into practice? I'm curious. Whether it be through engaging with your clients, or in your own life, what changes has existentialism helped you make?

I had to look up “existentialism” to refresh my memory.

"Existentialism is a philosophy that focuses on individual freedom and the search for meaning in life, emphasizing that people must create their own purpose in an often confusing and absurd world. It explores themes like personal responsibility, authenticity, and the challenges of making choices."

I guess if everything was fate, then we might as well just give up, so yes, I believe we can make individually conscious choices to find meaning and create our own purpose.

We have agency.

Yes, this is much more empowering than thinking that everything is controlled. Im not giving up.
