Help of a psychologist. Psychological support for this, in a close ailment for cancer

You have found out about those that you or a person close to you has been diagnosed with oncological pathology and diagnoses that disrupt your plans, instill anxiety and innocence ... the mind is the will to fight against the nebezpekoyu, scho vinikla.

Rule #1

Rule number 2. Vibіr svіvrozmovnika

Choose yoga resolutely. Be afraid of the quiet, who loves to plow over other people's difficulties, that schee and pіdlit olії at the fire, having begun to tell you impersonal summary butts, like you, as you understand, we can’t see it! You will need a sensible and dialny spivrozmovnik, yakim, nasampered, maybe your doctor is a psychologist.

Close people. Among close people, you also need helpers. And here it is important for us not to know and to inspire non-organizational zdibnost (want to sweat, it’s possible, it will be important for you to be a mother in the near future when people are mobile, active, ready to practically help with the daily supply of food). Nasampered, talk to those to whom you are truly dear, who are attached to you. Look, how the stench is worried about you, even if our loved ones often worry about the drive of an extreme cold, and you know that your fear is not a characteristic of the disease, but simply a manifestation of their love and turbot. It is important for you to understand what you need. Let it be an incentive to forget about the work for an hour, home turboti and clearly vikonat the doctor's inscription.

Likar. Seriously feed your doctor, as you need to live. Maybe, I’ll give you real statistics for your kind of illness - even if it’s true, if they didn’t say “grandmothers on the bench” for an hour, oncology on this year may have dozens of diagnoses, as if known to the whole world (and in Russia) 100% true. It is possible that the language is still not about the diagnosis, but rather about the first diagnosis, as it will require additional analyzes and re-verification.

Rule number 3. Chinnik hour

In oncology, as in the life of medicine, the hour is an important factor, and here it is important not to drag and not torturing yourself with doubts - what do you need? - robiti all dodatkovі dії shvidko, clearly that hourly. Doctors often help you not to the one who is already nasty, but to the very one who at once stinks of good prospects for bliss. In addition, the experts are expanding the standards of diagnostics and testing in order to achieve a positive result. An oncological diagnosis does not always mean a path to a chronic, recurrent illness, often it is necessary to simply wait for a good hour. Ale this hour, ring out more suttiviy, you can talk about a sprat of months, but the stars ...

Rule number 4. You are an active participant in the process of jubilation

You need to pick up your strength, analyze your resources. We are talking, nasampered, about psychological resources. At the book of A.I. Solzhenitsyn "Cancer Ward" head hero, the prototype of which is the author himself, for the hour of glee instills skin cancerous cells, why stink, so don’t be anymore. To the letter of the writer, it is possible, to listen to the bar: being hospitalized with the most important diagnosis, not being able to go through the full recovery, due to the strength of its pereconosity of the floor, having healed the ailment, it did not give a recurrence of the stretch. Solzhenitsyn is far from 80 years old.

Rule number 5. Take care of yourself

Psychologists care that it’s not safe to take sickness like warehouse part yourself, “let in” її at your life. In order to protect the nature of oncological illness, our body has already been pardoned, having adopted cells, which succumb to the world, for new and valuable elements of its structure, like veins to actively live and grow (itself on this “lesion” caused a wide range of puffs). Therefore, our psyche can be actively conditioned to deal with ailments, deal with scum. Do not worry that this problem has changed your life forever. Think about those who will follow the stage of rejoicing - believe me, that such an hour will come - think about what you want to come to, what to reach. Peremagaє vіruyuchiy - about the need for remembrance zavzhd i skrіz, and not only in sickness.

Rule number 6. Situation control

Another important resource is organization. Set yourself up in a businesslike way before the plans of your glee. Vznachte, on the basis of such a jubilant establishment, you will pass, explain, as additional possibilities and social benefits, you can (richly background information take a look at our site). I, obviously, be glad who can help you in a practical way.

Rule number 7. Dee, fight, live

Perhaps, at some point, you will have insufficient information about future prospects and opportunities. Therefore, your dії - additional consultations and diagnostics. Often the first words about the suspicion of oncological illness can be told to you by a therapist or an ultrasound specialist, and not by all doctors of these specialties, they are fully aware of the folding symptoms, if they are noted, they may be similar to fluff, but not call it. Do not rush to psychics, astrologers and folk healers too soon. - You, svidshe for everything, to fool.

Find a qualified doctor, rather than a specialist oncological mortgage, and don’t waste your time on re-checking all the sums. Our site also gives recommendations, such as medical and oncological dispensaries at your locality and the best experts in nutrition. Learn new information from them, think over all the aspects of further studies. Trust the oncologist, oncological departments and librarians practice qualifications of specialists. Tsya spetsializatsiya vamagaє scientific myslennya, the great dosvіdu that svіchuttya. Shhorіchno svitі z'yavlyayutsya new technologies kuvannya, for which our oncologists go through special training courses, that knowledge of them at once is an important resource for you! Fight together with doctors.

Life. Sometimes, the hour of ailment is given to us, that she resurrected us from the name of a number of people, turbot, interests, and by the same token, she made us self-sufficient. Life seems to be subdivided by an hour "before"і "after" diagnosis. Ale is often so selfishly peaceful to oneself. Joke quietly, who can help you, and you will tell that there are a lot of such people. Save "clear my head", do not transfer your share to unimaginable fears, nor to stubborn "enchanters". Aje tse your life, you have it, it continues, and I want you to entrust the whole army of doctors, the whole battery of likiv, the whole legion of wine walkers modern science- The commander of the tsієї army itself Vi.

Know the advice

And you can know all these resources: for whom our site was created. Put your food here, get to know the butts of successful exuberance, the numbers of positive statistics, find out more about the reach of medicine. Your "susidy" on this site - doctors, that participation in our project is active - proof that the problems of oncology are not so much for the health care workers, the problems of oncology are so great, they are more effective and more successful in treating the skin of a person who has been hit by this disease.

Psychological assistance phone 8–800–100–0191
A call in Russia is cost-free, a consultation is colodobovo.

1. "I'm not dead yet"

Seemingly hopeless, impossibility to help a close relative who is suffering, psychologically stand against a cancer patient, which is so vigilant that especially other people, including medical practitioners, should be put up to the new. Tse viklikaє ailing at the sight of being baited by live bait.

2. "Just be with me"

Serving an ailing "presence" may have a painful psychological effect, if you have nothing to say to you. Relatives or friends can just sit in the room, not obov'yazkovo close to the sick person. Even more often they seem to be sick, as if they calmed down and calmed down, if you wandered around and bachish nearby, you know the disapproval. "Navit if I go through the Valley of Death, I'm not afraid of what you have with me." It is especially kind to convey the psychological aspect of the sick person.

3. "Let me express my thoughts, inspire irrational thoughts"

It is especially important to express your emotions, to scorch the middle, to stimulate the aimlessly neuroendocrine system, so that I will become "a mover that works in vain." If a person zaganya in the middle of his emotions, the stench begins to destroy її in the middle and spend so much energy in his life.

Guidelines for psychological support for three points:

a) Put "vіdkritі" nutrition, yakі stimulate self-discovery of the ailing.

b) Vykoristovyte movchannya and “mova tila” as a trick: marvel at the ailment of a vіchі, having slightly shriveled forward, sometimes lower, but in a sing-song manner stick around yoga chi її hands.

c) Listen especially to such motives as fear, selfishness, anger, self-harming, lack of pride. Stimulate their opening.

d) Focus on a clear explanation of these motives and try to achieve their understanding.

e) Live practical ideas in mind.

4. "I'm bad if you don't stick with me"

Friends and relatives of a sick person can feel irrational fears, thinking that oncological diseases are contagious contact route. Tsі fears are present in people more richly, lower about tse the medical bulk is recognized. Psychologists have established that the human dotik is a straining factor that practically changes all physiological constants, starting from the pulse and blood pressure, to the point of self-indulgence and changing the internal awareness of the body. "Dotik is a persha mova, like me vchimosya, entering the World" (D. Miller, 1992).

5. “Ask me what I want now”

Even more often, friends seem to be sick: "Call me, as it will be necessary for you." As a rule, with this statement, phrases of illness are not used for help. It would be better to say: “I am free this evening and I will come to you. Let's see what we can do together with you and what else I can help you with.” Help can be given to the native speeches. One of the ailments of the zavdyaki mav damage to the cerebral hemorrhage with damage to the mov. Yogo nayoma regularly came until the new evening and sang his beloved songs, and healed ailments according to her ability to lift. The neuropathologist, who was careful about yoga, having noted that the remembrance of the movie was richer, lower in the most pronounced moods.

6. "Don't forget that I have a little bit of humor"

Kathleen Passanism established that it has a positive impact on the physiological and psychological parameters of a person, increasing blood circulation and breathing, lowering arterial pressure and m'yazova stress, increasing the secretion of hypothalamic hormones and lysozyme. Humor opens up channels of communication, reduces anxiety and stress, strengthens learning processes, stimulates creative processes, strengthens self-awareness. It has been established that in order to be healthy, a person will need at least 15 humorous episodes during the day.

In most cases, members of this group should be occupied with respect, which are shown to a cancer patient. It is necessary to understand that relatives suffer so heavily. Cancer b'є on sim'ї.

1. "Power us up, how can you do it"

Even more often, a medical practitioner, seeing a cancer patient at home, no longer cries like a camp of an ailing person. Tse severely traumatize your relatives, if you don’t sleep at night, listening to the sickness of the sick, convalescing the unacceptable, but at the end of the necessary procedures, you constantly change at the station of stress. I also need respect and help.

2. "Mi tezh afraid"

All people know about genetic schilnist before cancer. That is why it is necessary in roses with relatives to get stuck with those and, perhaps, є sense of robiti prophylactic obstezhennya wanting to b in order to take away fears.

3. "Let us mother your tears"

I have a thought that relatives are guilty of saving their self-control, so that they can psychologically support a cancer patient. I will become sick of understanding the unnaturalness of which I will block free viraz of yoga of high emotions. The decimal girl, as if she was dying of cancer, asked the nurse to bring her “baby weeping”. Vaughn said that my mother is trying to be stronger and never cry, but she is so necessary, you can cry with him.

4. "Probatch us for those who act like God"

Relatives can feel angry in the face of a little powerlessness and lack of control over the situation. As a rule, it’s better to lie down a little bit guilty, and it’s obvious that the stench was wrong in life. At times, the relatives themselves will require individual assistance from a psychotherapist or a psychologist.

The psychological state of a person, as she first sensed from medical practitioners, that she, perhaps, has an oncological illness, is described in classical robots. Vaughn established that most ailments pass through five main stages of psychological reaction:

1. Locked Chi Shock

2. Anger

3. "Trade"

4. Depression

5. Accept

First stage kinda typical. People do not believe that there is a potentially fatal disease. You begin to walk from fakhivtsya to fakhivtsya, rechecking data taken again, to perform analyzes in different clinics. In the other version of wines, you can react to a shock reaction and don’t go back to the liquor anymore.

Another stage characterized by a pronounced emotional reaction, brutal to doctors (“Why didn’t you know before?”), suspense (“Why did the Ministry of Defense carry out a nuclear test in our region?”), relatives (“My man zmushuvav me robit abortion”) that share ( "What happened to me?"). In this phase, there is no trace of pasture and soaking up the evidence for qi supply. The ailment simply expresses his anger at the injustice of the situation.

Third stage - just try to “test” I’m able to live more than a day at the most manipulative instances: “Doctor, if I take Shark cartilage, can I live until my daughter goes to school?” two more rocks, so that my 40-year-old daughter knew a job. Then I can die peacefully.”

On the fourth stage, the person understood the whole burden of her situation. The new one lowered his hands, and he stopped fighting. Vin unique his primary friends, ceasing to take care of the great rights, curling up at home, she mourns her share. "There is no way out, give me peace."

Five stages - tse most rational psychological reaction, but it is far from skin to reach. Sickness perishes at the next few stages. So, tse zі I was trapilos, but not everything was spent. Fight hard. Navit that I was destined to live if I wanted to, I will live the whole hour meaningfully, for the sake of myself and my children”.

The next step is to indicate that the listed stages are not required to follow the established order. An ailment can "get stuck" at the same stage, or turn to the front. However, knowledge of these stages is necessary for the correct understanding of what to fight in the souls of a person, as if zіtknula zі mortal ailment. People who give psychological encouragement and acquittals are viable up to the tiєї stage, they know such ailments.

(Information for non-professionals)

The state of anxiety is a normal and normal reaction to a new stressful situation. Її looked at the skin of a person in a great life. For example, deyakі people irritate and feel alarmed at the hour of spivbesidy for pracevlashtuvannya, at public outbursts, or simply at the time of roaming with people who are significant to them. The psychological state of a person, as she knew about those who have a new oncological disease, is characterized especially high level anxiety. In quiet moods, if you get a diagnosis of a sick person, the whole camp can attack the level of a pronounced neurosis. The greatest strength to which I will become a woman who suffers.

The camp of anxiety is described as ailing like:

● Nervousness

● Voltage

Seeing panic

● Fear

Look, what can be unsafe

Sounds like "I'm losing control of myself"

If we are anxious, we blame the following symptoms:

Sleeps, cold valleys

Roslad duct-intestinal tract

Visibly embossed in the abdomen

● Tremtinya and tremor

Difficulty breathing

Accelerated pulse

Seeing the heat in the individual

Physiological effects of becoming anxious can be characterized by pronounced hyperventilation with the development of secondary respiratory alkalosis with further changes in the tone of the mucosal system and sudomas.

Sometimes you should come and go to finish milking, but in case of cancer of the milk follicles, it can be three times. The state of anxiety can be strong, disrupting the normal functioning of the body. In this case, you need a qualified psychiatric help. However, if the symptoms of illnesses subside, you can learn to cope with them independently.

Women, who suffer from breast cancer, are especially irritated and fearful and panicky in advancing situations:

Medical procedures

● that chemotherapy

Side effects of surgery,

● Anesthesia

How to calculate the traces of operational jubilation and apparent woman's innocence

● Mojliwe

Some of these fears are entirely natural, but having shown their manifestations, they respect the normal functioning of the body, which already knows the great adventures that are caused by the disease itself.

Controlling becoming anxious - to finish the folding process. However, with a non-committal robot, you can discover the necessary psychotechnical skills that allow you to work. Your goals are:

Know that in the singing world the anxiety is normal and understandable

Be prepared to seek professional help if you can't manage on your own

Investigate relaxation techniques of self-assisted stress relief

Make a plan for the order of the day with the correction of possible psycho-traumatic and stressful situations

Next, discuss the situations for which you can turn to professionals:

Serious problems with disturbed sleep for a long time

Look, threaten that panic for a few days

Viral tremor ta sudomi

Destruction of the work of the mucosal-intestinal tract with nausea and diarrhea, which can lead to destruction of the electrolyte and acid-lunar fluid.

Heart rate acceleration and extrasystole

Severe changes in mood, as if you are not able to control the broken breath

What can we do to control anxiety-panic states:

1. Z'yasuvati a path to introspection, like the very thoughts calling out anxiety to us

2. Talk to Kimos, who has seen similar stressful situations in the past

3. Engage in reception activities, which are alert to anxious thoughts

4. Rebuvat in the number of friends and relatives

5. Zastosovuvat technique of psychophysical relaxation

6. Ask a professional to assess our situation

Z'yasuvati, yakі dumki viklikayut alarm camp, є a key point for controlling the situation. Anxiety is composed of two components: cognitive (thinking) and emotional. Trivial thoughts call out trivozhnі vіdchutya, and trivіzhnі vіdchutya, with their blackness, strengthen panіchnі thoughts that call out the closed ring with a zreshtoy. Explore as much as we can, spitting on the cognitive component

Of particular importance may be with the help of adequate medical information. If you are afraid of a medical procedure, then you should report on the most technical aspects that can side effects, aggravated, ways of their uniqueness Estimate the possibility of replacing this procedure with less lakayuchu, but such that it gives a similar result. Modern medicine can have a wide range of chemical preparations and treatment schemes, and therefore, the possibility of replacement is always possible.

Possibility to talk to someone who has tried a similar situation earlier, allows you to take away information that has not gone through professional medical censorship. We are even more important and considerate, that you are not selfish in your fears and anxieties.

Vykoristannya priemnoy and vіdvolіkayuchoї diyalnostі allows you to drastically reduce the level of anxiety.

There are three types of such activity:

1. Joint activity with other people;

2. Dialnost, as if giving a sense of completeness and self-satisfaction;

3. Energetic activity, like thoughts about a stressful situation without interruption.

The choice of special psychophysical techniques should be described in particular.

Relaxation - tse vminnya, like a special victory for fighting anxiety. You cannot be relaxed and nalyakani overnight. There are many ways to reach. Most often, meditative techniques and progressive m'azova relaxation are used. A lot of people vikoristovuyut z cієyu metoy music. Just walking that light physical right also allows you to reduce the level of anxiety. Use various relaxation programs, including audio and video cassettes.

The rights to relaxation should be taken up once a day. Uniquely take relaxation for a long time after you go, the shards of the etching process destroy the building of the singing m'yaziv to relaxation.

1. Sit quietly at the armchair. The back of the shoulder should be right in the lying position, but the shards can be brought to a banal zasinannya.

2. Flatten your eyes. Try to relax your m'yazi, starting from m'yazіv and dropping down (shoulders, chest, arms, legs, legs) and ending the process at the feet. Allow the force to “wind” through your legs.

3. Then concentrate on your head and let your brain relax. “I allow the pressure to seep out of my head. I allow warm feelings to relax the m'yazi of my skull that appearance. Repeat these lines sequentially through the different parts of the body: shoulders, chest, arms, stomach, legs. You must spend enough time for one part of the body, first go to the next part.

4. If your body is relaxed, concentrate on breathing. To call respect, how rhythmically and deeply it became dihannya. Breathe in through the nis, and silently wash the word "calm" in the vision. I re-breath and re-see with the word calm. Repeat this with skin vision.

5. Follow the qi to the right with a stretch of 10-15 strands. I will not interrupt the relaxation of that full breath, carefully flatten my eyes, so that I will ring until the light at your room, sit quietly with a few whiffs. Let’s ask for yourself, you’ve relaxed a little and you see problems. Possibly, the thought is unacceptable, as if it were a doorway, for which you should especially improve.

6. Work qi right regularly at any time. On the back, you can ask someone to give you specific instructions, or you can replace it with an audio cassette. You can also record yourself on a tape recorder and then listen to the recording.

7. Choose an hour if no one can turn you in to take you. Turn off the phone and ask your loved ones not to disturb you.

8. In addition, as you know that you have the right to be afraid, you can stop yourself in any situation that calls out to you. Like, for example, you are sitting at the doctor's office, close your eyes for a couple of wheezes and relax. It will be easier for you to endure the unacceptable procedure.

9. Techniques of relaxation should be taught to the point of vindication of a psychotraumatic situation.

Depression is a severe emotional state that disrupts the normal functioning of a person. According to statistics, women suffer from depression more often than men. evoke depression practically in our ailments. What is the risk factor for the development of depression?

1. Reproductive function: menstruation and vaginess, hot, do not lead to depression. Tim is no less, you can be a depressive woman, like a mother wants children. Wikimedia Commons and surgical menopause are the hallmarks of depressive symptoms.

2. Features: women of a passive, fallow and pessimistic warehouse are more shy to depression, especially because they are characterized by negative attitudes towards life.

3. Victims of sexual and physical abuse: According to statistics, 37% of women may have a significant record of sexual or physical violence in women under 21 years of age. Episodes of bone stiffness, including bruising and injury, lead to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Also, undiagnosed skull injuries can be the cause of the development of depressive symptoms.

4. Zamіzhzha and children: it was established that the zamіzhzhya still protects more from the depression of the people, the lower women. Mothers of small children are especially able to be depressed, and the more children a woman has, the more she is able to be depressed.

5. Evil and national minorities: tse zagalnopriynyati causes of depressive states.

Depression is characterized by the following psychological symptoms:

Look at the inner empty.

Low energy and apparent apathy.

A waste of appetite, a touch of humor, a sense of self-pity.

How to instill hope in the sick

You would like to recognize how to help your close people in a situation of ailment, it turns into anxiety and depression, believe in your strength that success is exuberant? Definitely, the positive mood of that bazhanya fights, regardless of all the difficulties in the process of rejoicing, which is the basis of clothing.

Chi zamislyuvalis vy, scho so nadiya? Tse we are before the image of the future, Tse are ours, ochіkuvannya, which is the best. And in a situation of illness, a person is afraid for everything, that she won’t be like that, as before, that she won’t be able to clear up. Therefore, you can instill hope into a person with two ways: docks and a chance to restore health, that strength, you need to talk with a person about those who have not been re-baptized, but are more or less added. You just don’t need to hurry, know in your own strength, so that you can dedicate some time to the exit from a sickly camp, and then we can again plan and realize your hopes, like boules. Well, you should see that you can’t get out of illness without spending and such, as you definitely won’t be alive earlier, work on it, so that the person will cultivate new horizons and form new points of view. Here you can add those values, which are the same commemorations for any patient: the joy of talking with loved ones, satisfaction on a clear sleepy day, interest in a new film and books too thin.

It's no secret that someone is rich jubilant visits often endured by a person is important, they can call out unacceptable thoughts, fear, anxiety, a little bit of it. But the successes of modern medicine are always to be argued that it is possible to successfully fight against any ailments at all stages of the process. However, in a situation of insignificance and anxiety, in which a person is resting, especially in case of severe chronic illness, it is not easy to accept the situation with negative experiences. In this mood, the closest people of the city give a psychological boost, inspire confidence in their strength and fight against the disease.

I have a thought that the relatives are guilty of saving their self-control, so that psychologically support the sick. Ale vіn razumіє neprirodnіє kogo stаnі, i tse bіlny vіlny vіraz yogo vlasnyh emotsіy. It is important for this sense to succumb to superficial optimism, the innocence of such a close person is always familiar. It is important to be natural, allow yourself to freely speak with your loved ones about your pain, fears, experiences and take your cues. Tsya pidtrimka is guilty of being calm, insane, that she herself understood, based on your new faith in yoga clothing. Become yourself a conductor of tsієї vіri that bazhannya fight. It is even more important to believe in the strength of a person, even if your faith is to give faith to your loved one.

It is important that even more often a person, like a stverdzhu, that the glee is stupid, most of all, they want to overthrow it, turn it around to the spent hope. For someone else, like in no one else, it’s the same thing, that exercise is virit, it’s necessary to fight, to turn around, to activate it.

You, melodiously, know well, what speeches in life value your relative the most (homeland, children, onuks, hoarding, love of employment, life of life and that plan). Vykoristovyte tsey resource, to give people confidence in the future, plan the future future at once, create a friendly emotional climate for the better. The most important support and foundation, on which people will be their faith in the future and draw strength for the struggle, at the same time your family and people are close.

In general, it’s easier for a person to think and talk about bad turbos and do it, to be afraid of such a global threat, and for the sake of improving health, it’s necessary to switch the respect of the sick (to sleep, sleep, diet, walks, regular sleepovers, regular sleepovers). a doctor, putting together a list of meals, as it is necessary to put a doctor, vikonannya home references, hobbies, gardening, etc.).

Try to reconsider your loved one, which is the most important thing at once - stock up on patience and courage, just recheck important hours in your health and future life. And also zapevnit in the fact that you will gradually instruct, helping at once, step by step, to heal the ailment.

The state of anxiety and fear can be blamed for everything through the marriage of information. Possibly, with whom the sensi could help Rozmov with a doctor, an expert, or a call to our hot line 8-800 100-0191, after informing psychologists, they will help you to understand the situation, give recommendations on how to deal with the disease, give you a psychological encouragement.
