During the stressful holiday season, psychologist Dr. Christopher Barker explores the timeless wisdom of Viktor Frankl and his groundbreaking theory of logotherapy, which teaches that meaning—not pleasure or power—is our core human drive. Drawing from Frankl’s experiences surviving concentration camps, Dr. Barker breaks down how purpose, attitude, and connection can help us reclaim control and resilience even in life’s darkest moments.

This inspiring episode of Holding Space dives into how to apply Frankl’s philosophy to modern therapy, emotional wellness, and everyday challenges—especially for those facing depression, anxiety, or burnout as the year ends.

If you’re struggling to find peace and purpose amid stress or grief, this episode offers insight, compassion, and practical guidance for rediscovering meaning in the middle of suffering.
