The crisis life situation is by no means a rarity. People are experiencing crises associated with age, with a period of relationship with the beloved person, in which they are composed, as well as from various other aspects of life. The psychology of crisis situations defines the crisis as a special state in which it is no longer possible to function within the framework of its usual pattern of behavior, even it suits and suits a person. This concept of crisis is used in psychotherapy, where it means a special psychological state, manifested in fears, stresses, feelings of insecurity and other types of crisis situations.
How to overcome the crisis?
There are ways of self-help, which you can resort to if you think that professional assistance in your crisis situation is not needed for you yet:
- It is worth talking about what happened with a loyal friend, do not keep in yourself;
- if the topic is very delicate and you do not want to discuss it, write everything on paper and tear it;
- relax as you like - take a bath, watch a movie, cry;
- rest your soul: imagine a place where you are comfortable in the real (park, beach or forest), accept the tranquility of this place; if you do not know such a place, think of it;
- Eat a bit of bitter chocolate, a handful of nuts, a banana or whole wheat bread (these are natural antidepressants).
If you feel that your condition is very serious and such methods do not help you, this means only one thing: you need psychological help in crisis situations.
