philosophy of modern western psychotherapy is existentialism. existentialism is a result of radical revaluation of all values by people who were lucky enough to have a childhood where the psychological needs have been met. they grow up to be less wise and more happy and this lack of wisdom cause many suffering in their later lives, which results in the decay of old values and replacements with the new, usually nihilistic leaning values. buddhism is the best example of such values. these values are wisdom to such people and they should continue to live according to them.

most people who fail at therapy are one's whose early psychological needs have not been met, resulting in a psychological survival mechanism that allow unconscious armies to take control of the ego. giving the sparks of rebellion to the ego while taking away the peace in the ego(much like a war in real life). scars of this will last till death. nihilistic leaning existential values such as absurdism, nietzchean values and buddhism is poison to these people.

psychotherapy should consider the childhood of the patient. existentialism is only healing to those whose childhood is without war. abrahamic teachings and potentially some sects of hinduism is the ONLY solution to those whose childhood is with war.

if existentialism has failed you, close your eyes and listen to 'the voice'
