Sometimes it can be difficult to describe, to name the conglomerate of feelings that rages inside. It’s hard for us, we want to get rid of these conditions. Someone carries it inside, blocking, suppressing and, ultimately, somatizing these states. Someone spills everything out, and then loved ones suffer. However, we can try to process these states, to express what is inside us in the language of symbols and images. And then it becomes easier for us, because we have given a concrete form to those incomprehensible and complex states raging inside us. Fairy tales, films, myths, poems, music help us a lot in this. We can choose a movie that is similar to our story, listen to a melody that reflects our inner state, or we can take a piece of paper and write our own story. Sometimes we can name the feeling that torments us from the inside. For example, such a feeling as anxiety, which lives in each of us. We can take a piece of paper and a pen and write a angst story or a poem or prose. You will see how the unconscious will guide you along this path, you just need to open the way for it. In order to write a fairy tale or therapeutic story, just choose a hero or heroine, a problem that he or she faces, a resource with which the problem will be solved . And you will get a wonderful story, which in the process of work will help transform your experiences, realize the shades and nuances of your story, allow you to look at your situation more holistically, and the process of symbolization itself will allow you to avoid internal censorship, evaluations and will give you the opportunity to simply live what is inside. As an example, I’ll give you a short fairy tale that I once wrote. Once upon a time there was anxiety. Once upon a time there was anxiety. She was worried about everything, worried, trying to take everything into account, provide for everything. She was so small, shaking, that she definitely wanted to tremble and worry with someone, because being afraid alone was completely unbearable. And one day she became acquainted with calm. She tried to show calm how scared she was, so that calm would become afraid along with her. But calmness still did not fear, did not tremble along with anxiety. Anxiety began to get angry: “Why don’t you want to be afraid? You should be afraid just like everyone else is afraid!” And calmness looked at the anxiety and simply smiled quietly. Anxiety got angry and went away completely. There is a heroine in this fairy tale - anxiety. The problem is constant worry about everything in the world. Living like this is quite difficult. But that’s not all, anxiety can change its face. For example, anxiety can appear in the form of an attempt to control everything, to overprotect others. It may seem small, shaking, like a mosquito buzzing annoyingly above your head, but everything is not so simple, because anxiety can infect everything around and this is its power. Then it becomes huge and all-consuming, and it can be very difficult to cope with it at such moments. But now anxiety meets calmness - a resource. Calmness is the reason for the calmness that is able to not succumb to the influence of anxiety. And anxiety feels its powerlessness, takes off its mask of a small insect and gets angry, because it loses power over the personality and the environment. Everyone can do this kind of work, because at heart we are all creators. However, there are such difficult conditions when you need the help of a specialist who will listen, support, help you understand the current situation and develop possible solutions to the problem. Each specialist has his own set of tools for this, works in his own approach, you just need to choose the one that suits you.
