Psycho-Emotional Rehabilitating Means of Overcoming Extreme and Stressful Impact

Abstract

Strengthening the person’s self-sustainability is based, first of all, on the activation of own protective and mobilization mechanism with the maximum use of internal reserves. This provides colossal potential and resources for self-restoring, being a non-drug and, mainly, natural modus in the system of human body functioning, at that, without any side effects. However, in a stressful situation, spontaneous self-activation of individual psychobaggage can be blocked because of emotional-physiological overexertion caused by extreme events, which is observed during almost three years of Russian terrorism in Ukraine. It is in such situations that non-drug psychological techniques and alternative methods of self-rehabilitating can be useful, leading to significant relaxation, reducing the internal overload of the body, allowing a person to transform negative perceptions and feelings into a more balanced positive inner state. The aim our Mini-Review was to systematize experimental, theoretical and review studies, present a complex of anti-stress self-rehabilitation techniques and provide an analysis of their efficiency. The following 3 types of methods for preventing the occurrence of dangerous psycho-emotional/somato-physiological symptoms and rehabilitation from the consequences arising as a result of stressful influences are being analyzed: (1) preliminary preventive methods, (2) ad hoc created means of psychological emotionally-oriented therapy, (3) ancient, longknown anti-stress bio-energy techniques of (self-)restoration of the body. It has been established that there is a wide range of various correctional, rehabilitation and health-improving means, the effectiveness of which has been repeatedly confirmed scientifically. However, these methods are stubbornly not supported by official medicine and the medical-pharmacological community, so they have not received widespread distribution and recognition. Nevertheless, the benefits and efficiency of many of the analyzed anti-stress restorative/rehabilitative means have been proven in real life in the process of providing psychological assistance to Ukrainians affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
