Viktor Frankl's Method to Overcome Fear (Paradoxical Intention)
Paradoxical intention is one of the techniques found in Viktor Frankl's logotherapy. Therapists can use paradoxical intention to treat people with anxiety, fear, phobias, and even insomnia.
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 (how strange this may sound). 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.
