"To be yourself and not lose others - to be with others and not lose yourself." - This sentence could be used as a short form to express the main idea of daseinsanalytic psychotherapy. Daseinsanalysis is a psychotherapeutic direction that is very close to philosophy, specifically phenomenology. It is based on the works of the famous philosophers Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. In the field of psychotherapy, Daseinanalysis is based on certain premises of psychoanalysis, although it diverges from it in many ways. In Daseinanalytic therapy, clients are certainly not lying on a couch, they are not encouraged to invent all sorts of associations, as was the case in the time of the famous psychologist Sigmund Freud.

Daseinsanalysis does not make much use of predetermined techniques, the emphasis is on the relationship between therapist and client. This therapeutic relationship is based on respect, support and above all authenticity. This is also why the therapist rejects previous diagnoses and pigeonholing of the client's mental pain. The therapist is a guide on the client's journey, not an expert on the client's experience. In other words, the therapist accepts the client as he or she is and does not try to change him or her; the impetus for change should come from the client himself or herself during the course of therapy. The initiation of these impulses throughout the psychotherapeutic process is based on what is called the analysis of the client's "being in this world", i.e. his "Dasein". This is also the origin of the somewhat cryptic name of this direction - Daseinsanalysis.

Daseinanalysis can take place both individually and in groups. Both forms of therapy are very beneficial, especially for clients suffering from existential anxiety, depression, feelings of emptiness or loss of meaning in life.

Within the therapeutic relationship, the client has the opportunity to return to himself and become aware of his wishes and dreams. On the basis of consistent self-knowledge, he can then set adequate life goals and demands on himself. Through the open and accepting relationship that the client experiences with his therapist, his functioning in the world gradually changes and he can experience positive relationships and experiences in a new way.
