Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death

I have so much love for Irvin Yalom and I owe him a great debt for giving me the courage to begin my application essay to graduate school. I decided to name drop him in the opening paragraph of that piece, which terrifies me when I look back. Why in the lord’s name did I do that? Irvin Yalom discusses things rarely mentioned in APA and CPA approved clinical psychology programs. Existential therapy? Dreams? Death? Yeesh. To be fair, he also discusses many things that are taught by the caring therapist-professors. The here and now, the content of the session versus the process, the real relationship between the people (as opposed to a learner to a higher being). So important for these books to persist, to continue to be read.
