Becoming Existential
Max Karlin
Becoming Existential is a podcast about learning to become a therapist and what that process reveals about being human.Hosted by Max Karlin, a trainee existential therapist at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling in London, the series follows the unfolding that takes place inside therapy training: the doubt, the questioning, the moments that reshape both the person and the profession.Each episode is an open and honest conversation with peers, supervisors, and leading voices in existential psychotherapy. Together, they explore the questions that sit quietly at the centre of every life: freedom, meaning, loss, relationship, and the courage to face what cannot be fixed.This isn’t a podcast about methods or tools.It’s about what happens when we turn towards uncertainty and stay there long enough to learn from it.If you’ve ever wondered how therapy training really feels, how existential thinking changes what it means to help, or how these ideas might move beyond the therapy
