Centre for Existential Practice Events
Dr Alison Strasser & Dr Adam McLean
Working with Existential Dread in a Profoundly Shifting World
Climate change, artificial intelligence, geopolitical conflict, social fragmentation and declining trust in institutions have contributed to a world that feels more uncertain and unpredictable and, increasingly, these realities are finding their way into the therapy room. This workshop addresses how we can respond therapeutically when these deeper existential concerns emerge. Alison and Adam will explore with you how existential dread presents in contemporary clinical work, how to distinguish it from psychopathology, and how to remain present with clients without moving prematurely towards reassurance or resolution.
2 half-days on Thursday 29 & Friday 30 OCT 2026
