When studying crisisology, you understand that life is a series of crises. First an age-related crisis, then a family one, then a professional one, again an age-related one, which can trigger a family and life-meaning crisis, and so on... It sounds a little sad, but What is important here is to understand the crisis, not only as something terrible and difficult. A crisis is, first of all, a point of new opportunities, a turning point in life’s path, it is an opportunity for global changes, a change in the directions of the vectors of one’s life. Before the crisis, we lived in a comfort zone where there was no development. Thanks to experiencing crises, we reach a new level of life, acquire new knowledge, skills, and experience. Why is it important to know about crises? Often, being in a crisis situation, a person does not understand the reasons for the things happening to him. For example, during the birth of her first child, a mother becomes very close to her baby and, as often happens, forgets about the existence of her husband. Undoubtedly, she gets tired and tries to be a good mother, but all this can be done with the participation of all family members. After some time, she begins to scold her husband because he rarely comes home and does not take part in the child’s life. But, perhaps, he simply stopped feeling needed by this family... But none of them has any idea about the normalcy of what is happening, and most importantly, how it could have been avoided. It is useful to realize such moments and know the general difficulties of crises in order to avoid them in your life. Or clearly realize: now my child has become especially disobedient, not because he is “going crazy,” but because he is in a crisis of three years... And it’s time for us to change ourselves and our attitude towards him as an individual... etc .d. Now let’s understand a little what crises happen. There are 2 main types: Regulatory crises. This type of crisis is most often tied to certain phases of life, that is, these are our age-related, professional and family crises - every person experiences them in life. Vivid examples: the crisis of 3 years, middle age, getting a job, the birth of a child, etc. Non-normative crises happen, as a rule, unplanned and do not depend on a person’s age; they are determined by the laws of individual life. These include crises of loss, family breakdown, job layoffs, etc. Each of us encounters these situations in life and each of us copes in our own way. For example, remember yourself now as a teenager. And now your peers. I'm sure you found differences in behavior. And now everyone is coping with the crisis as best they can. Here it is only important to understand that when I can no longer do it myself, there is always the opportunity to ask for help and support. And who, if not a psychologist, will provide it? A crisis state is a person’s reaction to a crisis event, which has its own dynamics and changes over time. Normally, experiencing a crisis lasts up to a year. During this time, vigorous work takes place in a person’s inner world, a revision of meanings and values, a restructuring of personality, which helps to adapt to new living conditions and, in the best cases, to realize the benefits of this experience. In some crises, especially non-normative ones, such as loss, it is difficult to find what something useful and positive. But the experience of this experience cannot be taken away, which makes us wiser and stronger. Thanks to crises, new doors open in different directions in life, unfortunately, we do not always notice them immediately, more often we do not see a way out of the situation at all. But in the process of overcoming it, we begin to pick up the keys to the directions we need. I hope these words will give strength and motivation to those who are suddenly in a state of crisis. And if you can’t cope, you can always ask for help.
