The article approaches the experience of the "sudden" in the existential psychotherapy as a fundamental point in the client's process of self-movement. Such experience reveals the vast relation man-world and passes by Lispector's and Sartre's ideas which lead to the explanation of this epiphanic moment or fulminating insight when the client, facing his real existing situation, finds himself in a bright and disconstructing state of seeing and understanding tings. Far from everyday illusions, epiphany gives a new meaning to reality. Hence, the choice for this literature becomes therapeutic because it allows us a rearrangement of our being in the world.
