What Is “Existential Anxiety, or Angst”?
Existential anxiety, sometimes called “existential angst”, is an enduring feeling of distress due to uncertainty about the life-questions that matter the most: meaning, freedom, significance, identity and purpose. It may be apparent that familiar routines and beliefs lack the clarity, or comfort they once had. Alternatively, you might be experiencing deep unease with no apparent reason at all.
How are You Experiencing Existential Anxiety?
In existential anxiety there are a number of concepts which had previously kept you grounded, might begin to disintegrate. For example, you might feel a loss of purpose, a vacuum of identity, or authenticity, a sense of loneliness, or abandonment. You might also notice a fear or regret about making the wrong choice, or a deep questioning about the nature of existence itself.
This may, or may not be related to spirituality.
These ‘disintegrations’ can come in the context of significant life transitions, whether personally, or globally. They might seem to be time-related. For example, crises at quarter-life, mid-life, end of life, or retirement milestones.
They might be triggered by personal transitions, such as career change, divorce, marriage, or bereavement.
Then there is the uncertainty around global transitions, which can be personally destabilising. Such transitions can include the possible effects of immigration, pandemics, war, artificial intelligence and automation, climate change, nuclear apocalypse and economic collapse.
Where these issues are certainties they are awful and where they are uncertain they hang over us, with no clear answer and no knowledge if and when they may take hold. It is this uncertainty, in particular, that is a ripe breeding ground for existential angst.

How Integrative Hypnotherapy Can Help
The therapeutic alliance is the most fundamental driver of success in all therapy, and therapy for existential anxiety is no different – Think trust and bond in working together between you and me, the therapist. This is why it is important that you can meet me for a free initial inquiry before you make the choice about working together.
Hypnosis is highly effective for calming anxious feelings, especially when integrated with other approaches. It can also be a useful tool for helping you to explore and reshape your own conscious and unconscious beliefs about meaning, purpose, identity, relationships and other existential questions.
Mindfulness offers a stable way to engage thoughts and feelings that may have previously been too overwhelming to confront. By experiencing a new frame of engagement, uncertainty gradually diminishes and resilience increases.
Distressing internal experiences can seem, to your nervous system, just as threatening as immediate physical danger. Exposure-based approaches convince your nervous system of the truth, that you are ok, even with uncertainty, and that there is value and insight to be gained from every inner experience.
The safe engagement in discomfort that the therapeutic alliance, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and exposure therapy can produce a trail of opportunities to piece together possibilities for meaning formation. This is where existential therapy and transpersonal therapy excel. They are vehicles for paradigm-shifting deep reflection and refreshed formation of identity, beliefs, meaning, purpose and more.
