What is the goal in experiential therapy?

Experiential therapy aims to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotions by directly engaging in experiences rather than solely relying on verbal communication. The focus is on the present moment and the client's immediate sensations, thoughts, and feelings. The goal is to facilitate self-awareness, healing, and growth through personally meaningful and emotional experiences within the therapeutic relationship. Experiential therapy seeks to promote change in clients' lives by helping them connect to their inner selves, process unresolved issues, and develop more adaptive coping mechanisms.
