What role does stress play in the ABSURD Therapist's approach?

In the context of the ABSURD Therapist's approach, stress is seen as necessary for change. This perspective is built on the notion that discomfort, confusion, and existential anxiety can propel individuals towards personal growth and deeper self-awareness. By engaging with stress and the absurdities of life, clients may find opportunities to reassess their values, beliefs, and sense of purpose.

The focus on stress as a catalyst for change suggests that embracing rather than avoiding discomfort can lead to transformative insights. This aligns with key tenets of existential and absurdist philosophies, where the confrontation with life’s uncertainties can spark meaningful change in a therapeutic setting. By acknowledging and utilizing stress, the ABSURD Therapist helps clients find meaning and resilience amid life's inherent chaos.
