Viktor Frankl: Method to Overcome Fear

Frankl was an Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, who founded logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy that describes a search for a life’s meaning as the central human motivational force.
Paradoxical intention is one of the techniques found in Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy. Instead of escaping or minimizing the fear, paradoxical intention encourages us to face it head-on and actually desire and wish for it as a means of conquering it. But this reverse psychology that tricks the mind out of its neurosis makes Frankl’s approach interesting and worth examining.This video explores the ideas behind this method (paradoxical intention) and how it works. Wish for what you fear, and you’ll conquer it.
