Since I met Logotherapy in my information gathering, I have frequently attended Logo-Semi to have a close contact with the attendee as if they had been my old acquaintances. I felt as if I had known Logotherapy theory long before because it was like what I had been struggling to express. To live a life nevertheless is inevitable to our life to greater or lesser degree. I learned much from crime victims who had met unexpected loss or difficulty. Logotherapy helps me philosophically explain what I learned.

This is why I continued to attend Logo-Semi until I was certified as A-class Logotherapist.

Frankl told that we cannot teach nor give meaning of life and that Logotherapist should help clients find meaning of their life as a catalyst. Mrs. Katsuta always tells us that Logotherapy is not a technique for therapy but an art of living which sees each man is questioned by life.

I will respond to a question from each situation in life and share the essence of Logotherapy with others in my own way.
