ABSTRACT
When a person specifically comes to an existential psychotherapist, it must be assumed that he or she is ready to face facets of life that have hitherto remained hidden. The very fact of entering into an agreement to reveal the most intimate aspects of one’s life indicates a willingness to delve into oneself and the structures of existence. What is not so certain is whether the person is prepared to confront the less flattering and less reassuring aspects of life and self that will inevitably come to the fore.
