The use of the fairy tale therapy method in the work of psychologists

The modern world is full of pain, disappointment, loss, sadness. We are all suffering from what is happening in our country right now. Someone suffers from the fact that he is in bad relations with relatives and friends. Someone cannot establish a common language with colleagues. Someone's personal life turned into hell because of the war.

Fairytale therapy - treatment with a fairy tale. The main part of any fairy tale is a metaphor. Using the metaphorical resources of the fairy tale, it will allow us to develop self-awareness and build special levels of interaction with each other.

Fairytale therapy for adults is a method of psychological correction for those who are ready to understand themselves, reveal their inner world and are not afraid to create. The tool of this therapy is a fairy tale, which allows us to trace the peculiarities of behavior and actions, to analyze a specific life situation, using the example of the heroes. Not only children, but also adults like to listen to fairy tales, because it is a good world of fantasy and unlimited possibilities. In life, not every situation can end as we would like. If we use the method of fairy-tale therapy, the successful outcome of getting out of this or that situation will not make us wait long. Fairytale therapy is effective both in behavior correction and diagnosis. It is also a psychological method that helps to find a way out of many situations: eliminate fears, resentments, reduce the level of anxiety, get rid of obsessive phobias. We can find out what is bothering a person now and help find a way out of the situation. To help accept yourself, control outbursts of aggression, understanding from relatives, friends, colleagues, awareness of your strengths, resources in solving problems, confidence that there is always a way out of any situation.

A psychocorrective fairy tale is a type of stories aimed at correcting a certain psychological problem, which is suitable for working with both adults and children. First of all, with the help of history, an ineffective style of behavior is demonstrated, and then it points to alternative ways of developing the situation. For this, you can use both events of everyday life and completely fictional situations. The texts of fairy tales cause an intense emotional resonance in adults. The characters of fairy tales simultaneously address two mental levels of a person: the level of consciousness and the subconscious, which provides special opportunities for communication. Fairy tales describe the deep human experience of going through life crises and overcoming fear. They give a person support in situations of uncertain emotional experience and prepare him for crisis experiences, they also contain information about a certain type of maladjustment and people who live in a certain crisis. It gives an opportunity to react to emotions, reveal internal conflicts and difficulties.

Thus, the work of a modern psychologist includes the ability to work and use new methods, which include the method of fairy-tale therapy. The most effective is the application of this method in psychological practice for the purpose of diagnosis, forecasting, prevention, correction and communication of personality.
