Therapeutic Entrepreneurship in an Era of Uncertainty

This paper introduces the concept of “Therapeutic Entrepreneurship” as a novel approach to addressing the complex challenges of our uncertain era. Drawing from recent research on psychological flexibility, cognitive adaptability, and integrative therapeutic approaches (Fuchs et al. 2024; Fuchs and Fuchs 2024), we propose that entrepreneurship itself can function as a therapeutic intervention in times of uncertainty. By examining the intersection of art therapy, ecotherapy, psychological flexibility, and entrepreneurial thinking, we present a framework that transforms uncertainty from a barrier into a catalyst for growth and innovation. This research synthesizes findings from adolescent development, educational psychology, and consciousness studies to demonstrate how therapeutic entrepreneurship can serve both individual well-being and economic resilience in volatile times.
