DescriptionDescription:
The fear of dying has a greater impact on our inner lives and psychological disorders than is commonly assumed. Too frequently, psychotherapists avoid asking about death worry, either because they don’t know what to give patients or because they haven’t tackled their own death concern. If we accept mortality in our own personal treatment and become acquainted with the subject, we may give a great lot to patients who are terrified of death. Individuals who are terrified of death can be encouraged not only to find comfort from their dread, but also to discover that an experience with death will improve their life. Death encounter, as great men have pointed out throughout millennia, may awaken us to a fuller existence. Awakening moments are abundant in everyday treatment if we learn to notice them. One essential coping strategy is to prevent enormous stores of unlived life. When Zorba of Kazanzakis advised us to “leave life nothing but a burned down fortress,” he was correct. Dr. Yalom will outline this concept as well as other excellent arguments available to doctors (including Epicurus’ arguments) that can assist us in overcoming death anxiety.
