The conference offers invaluable electronic resources from key presentations. These resources not only provide theoretical depth but also offer practical strategies for therapists to implement in their daily practice. From tools for narrative reconstruction to frameworks for managing existential tensions, each presentation bridges the gap between abstract concepts and real-world therapeutic application. Collectively, they contribute to advancing the field of existential therapy, offering practitioners a deeper understanding of how to address the complexities of human existence in the therapeutic space.
