Treatment for Existential Anxiety in Barcelona
What is Existential Anxiety and how can it be treated?
Existential anxiety is a form of psychological distress that arises when deep concerns arise about the meaning of life, death, freedom, isolation, or personal purpose. It is not simply everyday stress, but a distress that touches on the fundamental questions of existence and can affect social or emotional life.
The most common symptoms may include a feeling of inner emptiness, fear of insignificance, constant questioning of the value of one’s actions, anxiety about the finiteness of life, and difficulty connecting with everyday enjoyment. These concerns can intensify in times of life crisis, significant loss, or major changes in identity, affecting the ability to live peacefully.
Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, integrated into a specialized clinical setting, is a promising alternative for relieving existential anxiety. This approach facilitates greater emotional openness, helps redefine the relationship with uncertainty, and offers a path toward acceptance, purpose, and inner peace.
Our therapeutic approach to Existential Anxiety
The psychedelic medication we use modulates the glutamatergic system and serotonergic receptors, inducing neuroplasticity processes that facilitate cognitive and emotional reorganization. At the brain level, the temporary reduction in activity in the default mode network (DMN) helps reduce rumination and broaden one’s perspective on oneself and life.
In the psychedelic experience, many people report a state of expanded consciousness where it is possible to safely explore deep existential questions. Specialized psychotherapeutic support allows for the integration of these experiences, working on themes such as accepting finitude, creating meaning, and the search for authenticity. This approach helps transform paralyzing anxiety into a renewed capacity to relate to uncertainty, recognizing human vulnerability without negating the possibility of living life fully.
