New epoché...
Epoché, or εποχή, means season. Inspired by the change of the season earlier this week, I wanted to share more about the notion of εποχή.
Epoché, in existential therapy, means the process of leaving behind all your assumptions about something. It literally means "the suspension of our judgments." The existential therapist, when encountered with a person, they start with an attempt to isolate all their biases, for the sake of being able to see more clear, to take a closer look to how that individual appears. The key is to understand the object of their awareness, not to explain it. Leaving ones biases completely behind is an ambitious goal but a good exercise for all of us.
In which ways would you start practising epoché in your daily life?
