The influence of war on a woman’s psyche: the way to self -knowledge and inner strength

In what a way my professional path led me to psychology

Psychological support for women during the war is extremely urgent. Every woman has her own unique life path. My own path began with the fact that I did not immediately find myself. I did not dare to psychology because I did not imagine my further development. She chose more understandable specialties: a lawyer (who was a failure), an economist (hitting the target!). But at the first work, being the head of the district headquarters of the election campaign, I was faced with the fact that without understanding the psychology of a person it is difficult to work effectively. Sociological research, political technologies and PR gradually led me to this understanding.

Psychological instruments in business and the role of a psychologist in working with people

Subsequently, working as a financial institution marketer, I directly faced how important psychological tools for managing people. The bank’s owner has invited a group of psychologists to work with the main business resource – human potential. At a time when the bank was to be rebuilt under new market conditions, optimization of processes and staff required a clear understanding of employees’ psychology.

Training, fairytale therapy, art therapy, cold breathing-in the early 2000s, these therapeutic practices seemed something new and amazing to relieve stress. However, they were allowed to work with staff stress and conflicts. It was my first deep clash with how psychological support and the right tools help not only business, but also every individual employee.

Internal conflicts: how to understand yourself and find answers

Ever since my student years, I have the impression that psychologists become those who seek to understand themselves, find answers to their internal questions. Then I thought: how can others be helped, if you didn’t understand yourself, have internal conflicts, problems in relationships, anger or anxiety?

Later, the understanding was that “a person is treated through a person.” It is through working with others that, through relationships, we can see ourselves, find our own answers, overcome internal contradictions. The role of the psychologist is not in demonstrating perfect harmony, but accompanied by a client in the path of self -knowledge.

Psychological support for women: When the war changes everything

War is a test for everyone. Especially for a woman who simultaneously holds the emotional rear of the family, takes care of children, older relatives and tries to maintain her own balance. The influence of war on the psyche of women is deep and often hidden. That is why it is so important to seek psychological support during this period, to work on yourself, to find tools that will help to overcome anxiety, stress, internal conflicts.

Sometimes the path to itself begins at the time of the crisis. Psychological tools-art therapy, group trainings, consultations-make it possible to find internal strength and resources for a later life.

In difficult moments, it is important to have someone who can hear and understand. If you are looking for psychological support, I invite you to individual online sessions. You are not alone.
