The Life Line Exercise - Logotherapy
Logotherapy, developed by Viktor Frankl from his experiences in Nazi concentration camps and his pre-war existential psychiatry, holds that the primary human motivation is the will to meaning — not pleasure or power. It provides a set of techniques for finding meaning even in unavoidable suffering. The evidence base is clinical and theoretical; outcome research exists but is smaller than for CBT. - Identify noogenic (meaning-layer) problems, not just psychological ones
Ask whether your current suffering is about a psychological difficulty or a deeper question about meaning — because they require different responses.
Logotherapy: Dereflection - Orient toward another person’s need
When hyperreflecting, ask: who needs something from me right now, and what specifically do they need?
