Burnout project. Prevention of emotional burnout of teachers of preschool institutions. training

Seminar-training for teachers of the preschool educational institution "Prevention of emotional burnout of the individual"

Over the past decades, the problem of maintaining the mental health of an educator in educational institution became especially acute. One of these problems is emotional burnout. By "emotional burnout" we mean a syndrome that develops against the background of chronic stress and leads to the depletion of the emotional-energetic and personal resources of the educator, resulting from the internal accumulation of negative emotions without a corresponding "discharge" or "liberation" from them. At people enthusiasm in work noticeably decreases, negativism and weariness grows. Burnout syndrome is a long-term stress reaction that occurs in connection with the specifics of professional activity. Many factors contribute to the development of burnout syndrome. These include the specifics of professional pedagogical activity, which is characterized by high emotional workload and the presence of a large number of emotional factors that affect the work of the educator and can cause severe tension and stress. The need for empathy, sympathy, moral and moral responsibility for the life and health of the children entrusted to the teacher, contribute to the emergence of adverse emotional states and the formation of protective behavior.
Speaking of preschool educational institutions, calls are increasingly being made for the widespread use of health-saving technologies in working with children. And this, of course, is important, but we should not forget that in many respects the health of pupils of a preschool institution is determined by the teacher, his health - not only physical, but also mental and psychological. The demands on the part of society for the quality of education are increasing, and consequently for the personality of the teacher and his role in the educational process. Such a situation already potentially contains an increase in the psychological stress of a person. And also, any profession related to communication with people requires special interaction skills and is associated with the need to constantly control your own words and actions. In this regard, such work requires special efforts and causes emotional overstrain. The profession of a teacher is even more difficult, because in the process of work he interacts with children, parents, and colleagues. Moreover, sometimes communication with all these categories of people occurs at the same time, and the teacher experiences a triple cross-effect from the outside. And let's not forget that the professional work of a teacher-educator is characterized by significant loads on his psycho-emotional sphere. Most of his working time takes place in an emotionally intense environment: sensual richness of activity, constant concentration of attention, high responsibility for the life and health of children. Factors of this kind certainly influence the teacher: nervousness, irritability, fatigue, and various kinds of ailments appear. And professional duty obliges teachers to make informed decisions, to overcome outbursts of anger, indignation, discontent, and despair. However, external restraint, and even worse suppression of emotions, when a violent emotional process takes place inside, does not lead to calm, but, on the contrary, increases emotional stress and negatively affects health. And, unfortunately, many representatives of the teaching profession cannot boast of their health, and meanwhile, the activity required from him, endurance, optimism, endurance and a number of other professionally important qualities are largely due to his physical, mental and psychological health.

Causes of EBS in teachers:
lack of a clear connection between the learning process and the result;
inconsistency of results with the expended forces;
limited time to achieve the set goals
inability to regulate their own emotional states;
heavy loads;
responsibility to superiors, parents;
lack of communication skills and the ability to get out of difficult situations of communication with children and their parents.
Situations affecting the occurrence of CMEA:
the beginning of pedagogical activity after holidays, courses (function-adaptation);
holding open events, for which a lot of effort and energy was expended, and as a result, appropriate satisfaction was not received;
end of the school year.

Course of the training

The profession of a teacher is one of those where the syndrome of emotional burnout is quite common. Creating conditions for emotional comfort for children, taking care of their health, development and safety, we literally “burn out” at work, most often forgetting about our emotions, which “smolder” and gradually turn into a “flame” over time.
Emotional burnout is a syndrome that develops under the influence of chronic stress and constant stress and leads to the depletion of a person's emotional, energy and personal resources. Emotional burnout occurs as a result of the accumulation of negative emotions, without "discharge" or "liberation" from them. This is a protective reaction of the body to stress, which occurs if there is no way to get rid of negative emotions.
concept "emotional burnout" was introduced by the American psychiatrist H. Freidenberger in 1974 to characterize the mental state of healthy people who, while intensively communicating with other people, are constantly in an emotionally overloaded atmosphere when providing professional assistance. These are people who work in the “man-to-man” system: doctors, teachers, psychologists, social workers, lawyers, psychiatrists, etc. As foreign and domestic researchers note, people in these professions constantly face the negative emotions of their patients, clients, pupils, and involuntarily are attracted to these experiences, because of which they experience increased emotional stress.
Viktor Vasilievich Boyko distinguishes three phases of the burnout syndrome:
1. Voltage- characterized by a feeling of emotional exhaustion, fatigue caused by one's own professional activities. It manifests itself in such symptoms:
experiencing psychotraumatic circumstances (a person perceives working conditions and professional interpersonal relationships as psychotraumatic);
dissatisfaction with oneself (dissatisfaction with one's own professional activity and oneself as a professional);
"driven into a dead end" - a feeling of hopelessness of the situation, a desire to change work or in general professional activity;
anxiety and depression - the development of anxiety in professional activities, increased nervousness, depressive moods.
2. "Resistance"- characterized by excessive emotional exhaustion, which provokes the development and occurrence of protective reactions that make a person emotionally closed, detached, indifferent. Against this background, any emotional involvement in professional activities and communication causes a person to feel excessive overwork. It manifests itself in such symptoms:
Inadequate selective emotional response - uncontrolled influence of mood on professional relationships;
Emotional and moral disorientation - the development of indifference in professional relationships;
Expanding the sphere of saving emotions - emotional isolation, alienation, the desire to stop any communication;
Reduction of professional duties - the curtailment of professional activities, the desire to spend as little time as possible on the performance of professional duties.
3. "Exhaustion"- characterized by psychophysical overwork of a person, emptiness, leveling of one's own professional achievements, violation of professional communications, development of a cynical attitude towards those with whom one has to communicate, development of psychosomatic disorders. It manifests itself in such symptoms:
Emotional deficit - the development of emotional insensitivity against the background of overwork, minimization of the emotional contribution to work, automatism and devastation of a person in the performance of professional duties;
Emotional alienation - the creation of a protective barrier in professional communications;
Personal alienation (depersonalization) - a violation of professional relations, the development of a cynical attitude towards those with whom one has to communicate;
Psychosomatic disorders - deterioration of physical well-being, the development of such psychosomatic disorders as sleep disorders, headache, pressure problems.
In general, burnout syndrome is characterized by the following symptoms:
fatigue, exhaustion;
dissatisfaction with oneself, unwillingness to work;
strengthening of somatic diseases;
sleep disturbance;
bad mood and various negative feelings and emotions: apathy, depression, hopelessness, cynicism, pessimism;
aggressive feelings (irritability, tension, anger, anxiety);
negative self-esteem;
neglect of one's duties;
decreased enthusiasm;
lack of job satisfaction;
negative attitude towards people, frequent conflicts;
the desire for solitude;
guilt;
the need for stimulants (coffee, alcohol, tobacco, etc.);
loss of appetite or overeating.
The presence of individual symptoms can be noted by each of us. But in order for them not to develop and, as a result, not lead to emotional exhaustion, it is necessary to know and adhere to the conditions for maintaining one's emotional health. We will also talk about them today.
When a person is faced with an unpleasant situation, he internally tenses up: the pressure goes off scale, the pulse quickens, the muscles tense up, preparing for action, but ... Action does not occur. And “unprocessed” emotions are imprinted in the body - so a person walks, complaining “on the heart”, on “hypertension”, and in the muscles, as a trace of unreacted emotions, areas of “frozen” tension, or increased muscle tone, are formed. Muscle cramps occur. And this can lead to: fatigue, low mood, irritability or apathy, sleep disturbances and sexual potency, psychosomatic diseases (hypertension, angina pectoris, stomach ulcers, bronchial asthma, diabetes mellitus, some skin diseases: eczema, neurodermatitis, psoriasis), colitis and etc.”
The ability to relieve muscle clamps allows you to relieve neuropsychic stress. They say they knock out a wedge with a wedge and we will do exactly the same. To achieve maximum relaxation, you need to strain as much as possible.
A number of exercises are suitable for this, such as "Muscle Energy" and "Lemon".

The Parable of the Stonecutters

Once a traveler was walking along a dusty road and around the bend, in the very sun, in the dust, he saw a man hewing a huge stone. A man hewed a stone and wept very bitterly ...
The traveler asked him why he was crying, and the man said that he was the most miserable person on earth and had the hardest job in the world. Every day he is forced to hew huge stones, earn miserable pennies, which are barely enough to feed himself. The traveler gave him a coin and went on.
And around the next bend in the road I saw another man who was also hewing a huge stone, but did not cry, but was focused on work. And the traveler asked him what he was doing, and the stonecutter said that he was working. Every day he comes to this place and hews his stone. It is hard work, but he is happy with it, and the money that he is paid is enough to feed his family. The traveler praised him, gave him a coin and went on.
And around the next bend in the road I saw another stonemason, who, in the heat and dust, was hewing a huge stone and singing a joyful, cheerful song. The traveler was amazed. "What are you doing?!!" - he asked. The man raised his head, and the traveler saw his happy face. "Do not you see? I'm building a temple!"

Exercise "Muscular Energy"

Participants are then asked to reflect on their findings.

Exercise "Trash Bucket"
Purpose: liberation from negative feelings and emotions.
Materials: sheets of paper, pens, a bucket for "garbage".
In the middle of the room, the psychologist places a symbolic trash can. Participants have the opportunity to reflect on why a person needs a trash can and why it needs to be emptied all the time. Psychologist: “Imagine life without such a bucket: when garbage gradually fills the room, it becomes impossible to breathe, move, people start to get sick. The same thing happens with feelings - each of us accumulates not always necessary, destructive feelings, for example, resentment, fear. I suggest everyone throw in the trash old unnecessary resentment, anger, fear. To do this, write down your negative feelings on sheets of paper: “I am offended by ...”, “I am angry at ...”, and the like.
After that, the teachers tear their papers into small pieces and throw them into a bucket, where they are all mixed up and put away.

Help yourself table
Materials: Brochure "Burnout Prevention", which contains data from the table below.

stand up abruptly and walk;
write or draw something quickly and sharply on a board or piece of paper;
grind a piece of paper, crumple and discard.
2. If you have sleep disorders, try to read poetry at night, not prose. According to research by scientists, poetry and prose differ in energy, poetry is closer to the rhythm of the human body and has a calming effect.
3. Every evening, be sure to get under the shower and pronouncing the events of the past day, “wash off” them, because water has long been a powerful energy conductor.

You go to this sound and come out to the source, beating from the granite rock. You see how its clear water sparkles in the rays of the sun, hear its splash in the surrounding silence. You get the feeling of this special place, where everything is much cleaner and clearer than usual.
Start drinking water, feeling how its beneficial energy penetrates you, enlightening the senses.
Now stand under the spring, let the water pour down on you. Imagine that it is able to flow through every cell of yours. Imagine also that it flows through the myriad shades of your feelings and emotions, that it flows through your intellect.

Gradually, you feel how the purity of this source becomes your purity, and its energy becomes your energy.
Finally, imagine that you are this source, in which everything is possible, and whose life is constantly renewed.
Thanking the source, you return along the paths back to our kindergarten, to our music hall. Having saved the energy that you received from the source, return to our circle and gradually open your eyes.
At the end of the exercise, participants are asked to gradually open their eyes. It can be advised to use this exercise while taking a shower.

Introduction

The relevance of this topic is due to the increasing demands on the part of society for the personality of the teacher, because The teaching profession is of great social importance. The ability to empathize (empathy) is recognized as one of the most important qualities of a teacher, however, the practical role of emotions in professional activity is estimated inconsistently. We can say that the teacher is not prepared for a possible emotional overload, they do not form (purposefully) the appropriate knowledge, skills, personal qualities necessary to overcome the emotional difficulties of the profession. Numerous studies show that the teaching profession is one of those that are more affected by burnout. This is due to the fact that the professional work of a teacher is distinguished by a very high emotional load. In modern conditions, the activity of a teacher is literally saturated with factors that cause professional burnout: a large number of social contacts during the working day, extremely high responsibility, underestimation of professional significance among management and colleagues, the need to be in “form” all the time. Now society is declaring the image of a socially successful person, this is the image of a self-confident person, independent and decisive, who has achieved career success. Therefore, many people try to match this image in order to be in demand in society. But to maintain an appropriate image, the teacher must have internal resources. Also, the profession of a teacher is one of the professions of an altruistic type, which increases the likelihood of burnout.

The aim of the project is to develop a set of measures aimed at maintaining the mental health of teachers. In this regard, several tasks can be distinguished:

To update the process of self-analysis of teachers;

To teach psychotechnical methods of self-regulation of the emotional state;

Optimize the self-esteem of teachers;

Relieve emotional stress;

To form positive thinking of teachers (self-perception and perception of the surrounding reality);

Formation of a positive attitude towards work among teachers;

Harmonization of relationships between colleagues;

The hypothesis of the project was that after its implementation, the relations of teachers in the team, with children, parents will qualitatively change (it will remove conflict, irritability, tension), professional mobility of teachers will develop, which will open up new opportunities for self-realization, increase their value, competitiveness, psychological the climate in the team will improve, the mental health of teachers will improve.

Chapter 1 Theoretical substantiation of approaches to the prevention of emotional burnout of teachers in preschool educational institutions
Burnout syndrome is a concept introduced into psychology by the American psychiatrist Freudenberg in 1974, which manifests itself as increasing emotional exhaustion. Doctors call it simply overwork. The syndrome of emotional burnout manifests itself in the form of growing indifference to one's duties at work, dehumanization in the form of growing negativism towards both patients or clients, and employees, a sense of one's own professional failure, a feeling of dissatisfaction with work, phenomena of depersonalization, and ultimately in a sharp deterioration in the quality of life. In the future, neurotic disorders and psychosomatic diseases may develop. The development of this state is facilitated by the need to work in a single and intense rhythm with a large emotional load of personal interaction with a difficult contingent. At the same time, the development of the syndrome is facilitated by the lack of proper remuneration (including not only material, but also psychological) for the work performed, which makes a person think that his work has no value for society. Freudenberg pointed out that such a state develops in people who are prone to sympathy, an idealistic attitude to work, at the same time unstable, prone to dreams, obsessed with obsessive ideas. In this case, the burnout syndrome can be a psychological defense mechanism in the form of partial or complete exclusion of emotions in response to psychotraumatic effects. The phenomenon of "emotional burnout" was detailed by Maslach, Pelman and Hartman in 1982, as a result of which his syndrome stood out. The last of the authors, summarizing many definitions of "burnout", identified three main components: emotional and / or physical exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced work productivity. Emotional exhaustion is manifested in feelings of emotional overstrain and in a feeling of emptiness, exhaustion of one's emotional resources. A person feels that he cannot give himself to work with the same enthusiasm, desire, as before.

Depersonalization is associated with the emergence of an indifferent and even negative attitude towards people served by the nature of their work. Contacts with them become formal, impersonal; emerging negative attitudes may at first be hidden and manifest themselves in internally restrained irritation, which eventually breaks out and leads to conflicts. Similar conditions take place in closed work teams that perform joint activities for a long time (up to six months). Reduced work productivity is manifested in a decrease in self-esteem of one's competence (in a negative perception of oneself as a professional), dissatisfaction with oneself, and a negative attitude towards oneself as a person. The three main factors that play a significant role in "emotional burnout" include the following: personal, role and organizational. Among the personality traits that contribute to "burnout", Freundenberg highlights empathy, humanity, gentleness, fascination, idealization, introversion, fanaticism. There is evidence that women experience emotional exhaustion faster than men, although this is not confirmed in all studies. A. Pines and colleagues established a connection between “burnout” and a sense of self-importance in the workplace, with professional advancement, autonomy and the level of control on the part of management. The significance of the work is a barrier to the development of "burnout". At the same time, dissatisfaction with professional growth, the need for support, lack of autonomy contribute to "burnout". IN AND. Kovalchuk notes the role of such personality traits as self-esteem and locus of control. People with low self-esteem and an external locus of control are more threatened by tension and therefore more vulnerable and prone to burnout. K. Kondo considers those who resolve stressful situations aggressively, in competition, unrestrainedly, at any cost, as well as "workaholics" to be the most vulnerable, "burnouts". people who have decided to devote themselves only to the realization of work goals, who have found their calling and work to oblivion. The role factor according to Kondo and Kuunarpuu is manifested in role conflict, role uncertainty.

The organizational factor contributing to the development of "burnout" includes: many hours of work that is not properly evaluated, has difficult to measure content, requiring exceptional productivity; inadequacy of the content of the work of the nature of the leadership on the part of the authorities, etc. As V.I. Kovalchuk, among the organizational factors, “burnt out” persons point to the following causes of “burnout”: excessive stress and volume of work, especially with unrealistic deadlines for its implementation; monotony of work due to too many repetitions; investing in the work of large personal resources and lack of recognition and positive evaluation; physical exhaustion, insufficient rest or lack of normal sleep; work without further professional development; tension and conflicts in interpersonal relationships; insufficient support from colleagues; emotional saturation or cognitive complexity of communication, etc. Currently, there are about 100 symptoms, one way or another associated with burnout syndrome. First of all, it should be noted that the conditions of professional activity can sometimes be the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome, which often accompanies burnout syndrome. With chronic fatigue syndrome, complaints of clients (patients) are typical: progressive fatigue, decreased performance; poor tolerance of previously habitual loads; muscle weakness; muscle pain; sleep disorders; headache; forgetfulness; irritability; decreased mental activity and ability to concentrate. In persons suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, prolonged subfebrile condition and sore throat may be recorded. When making this diagnosis, it should be borne in mind that there should be no other causes or diseases that can cause the appearance of such symptoms. There are three key features of the burnout syndrome. The development of the burnout syndrome is preceded by a period of increased activity, when a person is completely absorbed in work, refuses needs that are not related to it, forgets about his own needs, and then the first sign comes - exhaustion. It is defined as a feeling of overstrain and exhaustion of emotional and physical resources, a feeling of fatigue that does not go away after a night's sleep. After rest, these phenomena decrease, but resume upon returning to the previous working situation. The second sign of the burnout syndrome is personal detachment. Professionals, when changing their compassion for the patient (client), regard the developing emotional withdrawal as an attempt to cope with emotional stressors at work. In extreme manifestations of a person, almost nothing excites from professional activity, almost nothing causes an emotional response - neither positive nor negative circumstances. Interest in the client (patient) is lost, which is perceived at the level of an inanimate object, the very presence of which is sometimes unpleasant. The third sign is a feeling of loss of self-efficacy, or a drop in self-esteem as part of burnout. A person does not see prospects in his professional activity, job satisfaction decreases, faith in his professional capabilities is lost.

Burnout syndrome is a combination of physical, emotional and cognitive exhaustion or fatigue, with emotional exhaustion being the main factor. Additional "burn-out" components are the result of behavior (stress relief) leading to depersonalization or cognitive-emotional burnout itself, which is expressed in the reduction of personal achievements. Currently, there is no single view on the structure of the burnout syndrome, but, despite this, we can say that it is a personal deformation due to emotionally difficult and tense relationships in the "person-to-person" system. The consequences of burnout can manifest themselves both in psychosomatic disorders and in purely psychological (cognitive, emotional, motivational and attitudinal) personality changes. Both are of direct importance for the social and psychosomatic health of the individual.

In people affected by burnout syndrome, as a rule, a combination of psychopathological, psychosomatic, somatic symptoms and signs of social dysfunction is detected. Chronic fatigue, cognitive dysfunction (impaired memory, attention), sleep disorders, personality changes are observed. Perhaps the development of anxiety, depressive disorders, addictions to psychoactive substances, suicide. Common somatic symptoms are: headache, gastrointestinal (diarrhea, irritable stomach syndrome) and cardiovascular (tachycardia, arrhythmia, hypertension) disorders.

There are 5 key groups of symptoms characteristic of burnout syndrome:

Physical symptoms (fatigue, physical exhaustion, exhaustion; weight change; insufficient sleep, insomnia; poor general health, including sensations; difficulty breathing, shortness of breath; nausea, dizziness, excessive sweating, trembling; increased blood pressure; ulcers and inflammatory diseases of the skin; diseases of the cardiovascular system);

Emotional symptoms (lack of emotions; pessimism, cynicism and callousness in work and personal life; indifference, fatigue; feelings of helplessness and hopelessness; aggressiveness, irritability; anxiety, increased irrational anxiety, inability to concentrate; depression, guilt; tantrums, mental anguish; loss ideals, hopes or professional prospects; increased depersonalization of oneself or others - people become faceless, like mannequins; a feeling of loneliness prevails);

Behavioral symptoms (working time more than 45 hours a week; fatigue and a desire to rest appear during work; indifference to food; little physical activity; justification for the use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs; accidents - falls, injuries, accidents, etc.; impulsive emotional behavior);

Intellectual state (falling interest in new theories and ideas in work, in alternative approaches to solving problems; boredom, melancholy, apathy, loss of taste and interest in life; greater preference for standard patterns, routine, rather than a creative approach; cynicism or indifference to innovations; low participation or refusal to participate in developmental experiments - trainings, education; formal performance of work);

Social symptoms (low social activity; a drop in interest in leisure, hobbies; social contacts are limited to work; poor relationships at work and at home; a feeling of isolation, misunderstanding by others and others; a feeling of lack of support from family, friends, colleagues).

Thus, the syndrome of emotional burnout is characterized by a pronounced combination of symptoms of disorders in the mental, somatic and social spheres of life.

When considering the "burnout" syndrome as a one-dimensional construction, Pinness and Aronson consider this phenomenon as a state of physical and psychological exhaustion caused by a long stay in emotionally overloaded situations.

A. Shirom considers "burnout" to be a combination of physical, emotional and cognitive exhaustion or fatigue, with emotional exhaustion being the main factor. Additional burn-out components are the result of behavior (stress relief) leading to depersonalization or cognitive-emotional burnout itself, which is expressed in the reduction of personal achievements. In contrast to the two previous approaches, the authors of the one-dimensional approach do not limit burnout to certain groups of specialists.

Currently, there is no single view on the structure of the burnout syndrome, but despite the differences in approaches to its study, it can be concluded that it is a personal deformation due to emotionally difficult or tense relationships in the person-person system. The consequences of "burnout" can manifest themselves both in psychosomatic disorders and in purely psychological (cognitive, emotional, motivational and attitudinal) personality changes. Both are of direct importance for the social and psychosomatic health of the individual.

Currently, the problem of treatment and prevention of burnout syndrome is dealt with by both physicians and psychologists.

Preventive and therapeutic measures for burnout syndrome are largely similar: what protects against the development of this syndrome can also be used in its treatment.

For physicians, preventive, therapeutic and rehabilitative measures should be aimed at relieving the action of a stressor: relieving work stress, increasing professional motivation, balancing the balance between the effort expended and the reward received. When signs of burnout syndrome appear and develop in a patient (client), it is necessary to pay attention to the improvement of his working conditions (organizational level), the nature of the relationships that develop in the team (interpersonal level), personal reactions and morbidity (individual level).

A significant role in the fight against burnout syndrome is assigned, first of all, to the patient himself. By following the recommendations listed below, he will not only be able to prevent the occurrence of burnout syndrome, but also achieve a decrease in its severity:

Setting short-term and long-term goals (this not only provides feedback that the patient is on the right track, but also increases long-term motivation; achieving short-term goals is a success that increases the degree of self-education);

The use of "time-outs", which is necessary to ensure mental and physical well-being (rest from work);

Mastering the skills and abilities of self-regulation (relaxation, ideomotor acts, goal setting and positive inner speech help reduce the level of stress leading to burnout);

Professional development and self-improvement (one of the ways to protect against burnout syndrome is the exchange of professional information with representatives of other services, which gives a sense of a wider world than the one that exists within a separate team, there are various ways for this - advanced training courses, conferences and etc.);

Avoiding unnecessary competition (there are situations when it cannot be avoided, but an excessive desire to win gives rise to anxiety, makes a person aggressive, which contributes to the occurrence of a burnout syndrome);

Emotional communication (when a person analyzes his feelings and shares them with others, the likelihood of burnout is significantly reduced or this process is not so pronounced);

Maintaining good physical shape (do not forget that there is a close relationship between the state of the body and the mind: malnutrition, alcohol abuse, tobacco, weight loss or obesity aggravate the manifestations of burnout syndrome).

For the purpose of directed prevention of the syndrome of emotional burnout, one should:

Try to calculate and deliberately distribute your loads;

Learn to switch from one activity to another;

Easier to deal with conflicts at work;

Do not try to be the best always and in everything.

Anxiety, depression, emotional devastation - this is the price that the educator pays. A teacher with "emotional burnout" has a distortion in the perception of pupils, which leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of educational work. The goals of education will largely lose their social and personal significance if the system harms the psychological health of pupils and educators.

Physiological self-regulation "Diseases of the soul are inseparable from diseases of the body" The companion of stress is a muscle clamp. Muscle clamp is a residual phenomenon of tension that has appeared due to negative emotions and unfulfilled desires. "muscle shell". It is formed in people who do not know how to relax, that is, relieve stress.

Breathing exercises 1. Breathing exercises with a calming effect. Exercise Rest. Starting position standing, straighten up, put your feet shoulder-width apart. Inhale. As you exhale, bend over, relaxing your neck and shoulders so that your head and arms hang freely to the floor. Breathe deeply, watch your breath. Stay in this position for 1-2 minutes. Then slowly straighten up.

Exercise Respite. Usually, when we are upset about something, we begin to hold our breath. Releasing the breath is one way to relax. Breathe slowly, calmly and deeply for three minutes. You can even close your eyes. Enjoy this deep, leisurely breathing, imagine that all your troubles disappear.

2. Breathing exercises with a tonic effect: Exercise Mobilizing breathing. Starting position standing, sitting (back straight). Exhale the air from the lungs, then inhale, hold the breath for 2 seconds, exhale the same duration as the inhale. Then gradually increase the inhalation phase. Below is a digital recording of a possible implementation of this exercise. The first number indicates the duration of inspiration, a pause (holding the breath) is enclosed in brackets, then the exhalation phase: 4 (2) 4, 5 (2) 4; 6(3)4; 7(3)4; 8 (4) 4; 8 (4) 4, 8 (4) 5; 8 (4) 6; 8 (4) 7; 8 (4) 8; 8 (4) 8; 8 (4) 7; 7(3)6; 6(3)5; 5(2)4.

Exercise "Sound gymnastics". Before starting sound gymnastics, the presenter talks about the rules of application: a calm, relaxed state, standing, with a straight back. First, take a deep breath in through your nose, and as you exhale, pronounce the sound loudly and energetically. And it has a beneficial effect on the entire body; E affects the thyroid gland; And affects the brain, eyes, nose, ears; O affects the heart, lungs; Y affects the organs located in the abdomen; I affects the work of the whole organism; M affects the work of the whole organism; X helps cleanse the body; HA helps to improve mood.

II. Methods related to the control of muscle tone, movement Sit comfortably, if possible, close your eyes; - breathe deeply and slowly; - walk with your inner gaze throughout your body, starting from the top of your head to the tips of your toes (or in reverse order) and find the places of greatest tension (often these are the mouth, lips, jaws, neck, nape, shoulders, stomach); - try to tighten the clamps even more (until the muscles tremble), do it while inhaling; - feel this tension; - sharply relieve tension, do it on the exhale; - Do this several times. In a well-relaxed muscle, you will feel the appearance of warmth and pleasant heaviness. If the clamp cannot be removed, especially on the face, try to smooth it out with a light self-massage with circular movements of the fingers (you can make grimaces of surprise, joy, etc.).

III. Methods related to the use of images Specially remember situations, events in which you felt comfortable, relaxed, calm, these are your resource situations. – Do it in the three main modalities inherent in man. To do this, remember: 1) visual images of the event (what you see: clouds, flowers, forest); 2) auditory images (what sounds do you hear: birds singing, stream murmur, rain noise, music); 3) sensations in the body (what you feel: the warmth of the sun on your face, splashing water, the smell of flowering apple trees, the taste of strawberries).

"Emotional Dictionary". Within three minutes, write down the words, expressions, turns of speech (any) that allow you to accurately express feelings. Write them down in two columns: positive negative. Having done this, pay attention to the number of words: more than 30 words, your vocabulary is quite capable of expressing your feelings, you can count on the fact that your emotional experiences will be understood by others; 20 - 30 words you can express your feelings in various ways, but training will not hurt you; less than 10 words you need training in expressing feelings. Pay attention also to what emotions you have more positive or negative? It characterizes your personality, your attitude to life.

"Inner Beam". This exercise is aimed at relieving fatigue, finding inner peace. Imagine that inside your head, in its upper part, a light beam arises, which slowly and consistently moves from top to bottom and illuminates from the inside all the details of the face, neck, shoulders, hands with a warm and even, relaxing light. As the beam moves, wrinkles are smoothed out, tension in the back of the head disappears, the crease on the forehead is smoothed out, the eyes “cool down”, the shoulders drop, the neck and chest are released. The inner ray, as it were, forms a new appearance of a person, calm and satisfied with himself, his life, profession and students.

Methods associated with the influence of the word Formulations of self-hypnosis are built in the form of simple and short statements, with a positive orientation (without the “not” particle). A self-order is a short, curt order given to oneself. Use a self-order when you are convinced that you need to behave in a certain way, but are having trouble doing it. Self-approval (self-encouragement). People often do not receive a positive assessment of their behavior from the outside. Especially in situations of increased neuropsychic stress, this is one of the reasons for the increase in nervousness and irritation. Therefore, it is important to encourage yourself. Find an opportunity to praise yourself during the working day at least 3-5 times.

Compliments exercise. All group members form two circles (inner and outer). Participants stand facing each other and form a pair. The first partner gives a sincere sign of attention to the partner standing opposite. He tells him something pleasant, related to his personal qualities that are relevant in his professional activities. He replies: “Yes, of course, but, besides, I also ...” (names what he values ​​\u200b\u200bin himself and believes that he deserves attention for this). Then the partners change roles, after which they take a step to the left and thus form new pairs. Everything is repeated until a full circle is made. After completing the exercise, the group members discuss what feelings they experienced, what signs of attention they and their partners showed to them.

Exercises for the development of positive self-perception, for awareness of the features of self-perception and self-perception by others. Exercise Kinoproba (to develop a sense of self-worth). 1. List five things in your life that you are proud of. 2. Choose one achievement from your list that you are most proud of. 3. Stand up and say, addressing everyone: I do not want to brag, but ..., and complete the phrase with words about your achievement. Discussion questions: How did you feel sharing your accomplishments? Do you think that at the time of your speech, others experienced the same thing as you? Why?
Exercise "Smile". A Japanese proverb says: "The strongest is the one who smiles." Smiling is an effective tool for positively influencing yourself and others. If the muscles of the face "work for a smile", much more happens than you can imagine: the muscles activate the nerves located in them, and thus a positive signal is "sent" to the brain. You can check it right now. Smile (it doesn't matter if you get a grimace, the whole point is that the right muscles are working). Maintain this position for approximately 30 seconds. If you honestly do this experiment, you will be able to unambiguously state: something is still “happening”. It would be nice if you could describe your impressions without delay. If you have done this exercise for the first time, now you know that after it you always feel better.

Smile training. The essence of the training is that you learn several times a day to “keep a smile on your face” for about 1 minute. This exercise can be done anywhere, anywhere: in the car, on a walk, in front of the TV. The next effect that occurs during this training is interesting. In the first seconds, instead of a smile, you may get a grimace, especially if you are in an irritated state. But after about 10 seconds, you start to sound funny to yourself. This means that your grimace is already transforming into a smile. Then you start to slowly tease yourself. You ask if you really need to get annoyed in this situation. A few seconds later, you notice that there is relief. And from that moment on, everything will go for the better.

Joy Calendar. The psyche needs energy, like all living things. Without proper food, our soul "starves". The soul needs to be nourished as carefully as the body, “buy” “products” for it, good impressions, attention, fresh air and much more. Today we will take the first step to our “spiritual kitchen”, learn how to “cook” JOY. In life, wonderful and happy moments happen every day, kind people meet, noble deeds are performed. A person who feels all this is calm and confident, Everything works out for him. Everyone loves him. But we usually do the opposite: we notice the anxious and sad more often, we open up to bad feelings and suppress the good ones. Because of this, the mood deteriorates, quarrels and failures occur. To become happy, you need to see the bright side of your soul, to feel the harmony of life. The Calendar of Joy will help us with this. Open a blank notebook and try to remember all the joyful things that happened today. It could be a new thought that came to you, or a sweet word that you heard or said, or maybe a little luck, or music, or a dream!

Take care of your mental health, folks. Do not bring the level of mental stress to critical values. Do not get into the "long-term credit" of your internal reserves and capabilities. Do not forget that not only your wards, but you yourself, no less need help, care and attention to protect and preserve your health and psycho-emotional resource.

“If we talk about established professionals, they have experienced a burnout crisis more than once. A mature specialist must have such periods in his professional biography. They are the messengers of the fact that a person is ripe for growth, for development, that changes are asked for in his life and work. V.V. Makarov, Selected Lectures on Psychotherapy, 1999.

Exercise "Suitcase of wishes." Participants of the training are invited to say wishes to everyone. These wishes should be related to professional activities and addressed to a specific person. All participants of the training write down the expressed wishes addressed to them, and at the end they rank them according to the degree of importance for themselves. At the end of the lesson, a survey is conducted in which everyone expresses their opinion about the training. Exercise "Applause"

Thank you for your attention! May the most unrealistic dreams and the most unrealistic desires come true this year! Let the calendar sheets change, leaving in memory the bright events of the year! Let the candles that you lit on the festive evening support the fire of pleasant emotions all 365 days of the year, and their warmth warms hearts and souls, giving smiles day after day! All the best to you and yours...
