PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL RECOVERY AND SELF-HELP OF A PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGIST IN CONDITIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES AND CRISIS SITUATIONS

Abstract

The article provides a thorough theoretical analysis of the problem of psycho-emotional recovery and self-help of a practical psychologist in conditions of organizational changes and crisis states, which is one of the relevant and at the same time insufficiently systematized topics of modern psychological science and practice. The relevance of the study is due to the increase in the level of social and organizational instability, constant transformations of the professional environment, increased requirements for psychologists as specialists in helping professions, as well as a significant increase in the risks of professional burnout, emotional exhaustion and professional deformation. A practical psychologist in modern organizational conditions is forced to function in a situation of double load, combining his own adaptation to changes with providing psychological support to others, which requires a high level of psycho-emotional stability and developed self-help skills. The work analyzes the impact of organizational changes and crisis phenomena on the psycho-emotional state of a psychologist, reveals the main factors of professional stress that contribute to the accumulation of emotional tension and a decrease in professional efficiency. Self-help is considered not as a situational reaction to overwork, but as a holistic, conscious and systemic process of maintaining mental health, which includes the development of self-regulation, reflective competence, management of professional boundaries and a responsible attitude to one's own resources. Particular attention is paid to psycho-emotional recovery as a multi-level process that covers the emotional, cognitive, behavioral and social dimensions of a psychologist's professional functioning. The article substantiates the importance of resource-oriented and training technologies as effective tools for preventing professional burnout and maintaining psychological resilience in conditions of crisis organizational changes. It is shown that the combination of individual self-help strategies with group forms of support, supervision and organizational programs of psycho-emotional recovery creates conditions for preserving the professional identity of a psychologist and improving the quality of psychological care. The need to integrate self-help practices into the system of professional training and continuous development of psychologists is emphasized. The theoretical generalizations presented in the article can be used in the practical activities of psychologists, heads of organizations, as well as in the development of support programs for professionals in helping professions and further scientific research in the field of organizational and crisis psychology.
