What is the theory behind this Logotherapy worksheet?
Logotherapy, founded by Viktor Frankl, is a form of psychotherapy that is based on his theory that humans are capable of surviving all hardships if they are able to realise the meaning and purpose of their life. According to him all humans have the will and desire to find meaning in their life even at their worst.
This meaning in life can be identified through three ways
- Creativity: Utilising one’s skills and expressing them through productive channels such as your work, good deeds, art, music, invention etc.
- Experience: Receiving what the world has to offer with gratitude in terms of nature, relationships, love, etc
- Attitude: Changing how one views and understands their own suffering or difficult circumstances.
