Biography of Mikhail Persele

Mikhail Persel: “Calm yourself and each other” on May 25 in the new issue of the Mir “World after Pandemia” the chief psychotherapist of the Sverdlovsk region, the head of the Sosnovy Bor clinic, a psychotherapist with summer experience, Mikhail Persel analyzes the psychological situation today and predicts what problems we will encounter in the near future. Will everyone get out of the crisis on their own and who will need the help of a specialist?

Do I need to neglect it? Or is it better to cope with the tension with the psychotherapist, faster and more efficiently? The interview was recorded on May 6 of the year. The world will remain the same and even become better. We see how, in these difficult conditions, not only fear and anxiety wake up in people, but also the best qualities. How many people are now ready and provide effective assistance.

They enter volunteer movements or simply, without advertising anywhere, help neighbors and acquaintances. The realization that we live in a very close world where everything is dependent on each other makes us more human. I would not call each other to calm myself and each other what is happening now, by the information war. This is a large shaft of information that pursues an obvious goal - to reassure oneself and others.

In the media, the task is also understandable - not only to give information, but also to “PR” yourself, presenting it as bright as possible. Hence the feeling of excitement around the topic arises. On the one hand, it’s good that a lot is talking about it, because it is really important. I still see that many people do not fully understand the whole depth of the problem that is facing each of us, the country and humanity.

What they say is right. What they say in panic or chap -keeping tones is bad. We must talk about this calmly, measuredly, giving people the necessary recommendations what to do to protect themselves and loved ones, how to avoid undesirable consequences. We do not use the newfangled term "coronary industry". In psychotherapy, mental disorders associated with fear of “picking up” a disease for a long time, the probability of getting sick that is insignificant.

Especially when a person performs all preventive measures and cannot get sick, but is constantly afraid. And he feels that the doctors did not conduct any additional examinations that would confirm his presence of a terrible disease. Today, interest in maintaining health and caution about infectious infection play a positive role. We will still encounter the consequences of this situation when people begin to unnecessarily get carried away by means of prevention, but at the moment they are not superfluous.

Today we see people who are in great alarm about quarantine, but so far we are not observing a deep immersion. The beginning is laid, but the waves of phobia associated with coronavirus are not yet. Now, as during any stressful situation, people are more concerned about the moments associated with their life buildings, with how to survive quarantine, not to be left without a livelihood, to protect their loved ones, with how to receive medical care in time.

People with family problems associated with self -isolation and loss of work more often apply to consultations. Coronavirus itself is only including. Online psychotherapy first of all, we switched to a safe operating mode. We have all consulting services in online mode. Now our patients can sign up for consultation by phone, or on our website, get a consultation remotely.

If you need a recipe, then a special space is allocated for this. All consultants work in safe mode for themselves and for the patient. The clinic complies with the mask regime and all degree of protection. In the hospital we accept patients only with urgent problems. They are in the clinic on the quarantine, without vision, without visits and home leave. We do not reduce specialists.

On the contrary, we take a larger amount of work to the outpatient part. We advise people who cannot come to specialists now. After the quarantine is removed, the specialists will return to the hospital. We expect a large influx of patients, since the way out of increased mobilization may be difficult for many. You need to start to remain satisfied with the understanding of the essence of the situation.

Quarantine and self -isolation are not a whim of an individual official or system. This is a conscious necessity. It is vital to approach this reasonably and consciously. In addition, this is a personal contribution of each of us to general security. The feeling of injustice of what is happening should not cause a rebellion. A certain part of the emotional costs will decrease if you competently approach the distribution of time and time.

There is nothing new in this. This is the same as planning a vacation, working time and any event. It is necessary to plan the daily routine taking into account the life and work of all family members. Especially if there are children who continue education, and adults who work at home. All this should be built into the general schedule. You have to correct the usual, perhaps perennial habits.This completely feasible and interesting task allows you to discover new opportunities for itself.

Those who work remotely today find new resources: the ability to work without separation from their favorite things, do not lose time on the road, otherwise to communicate with other family members. Everyone has different situations, but it is necessary to sit together and distribute this time. It is important to understand that every person needs personal space. Whatever the small room, you need to agree who and when allocates time to be alone.

To be alone with your thoughts and your favorite activities, so that at that moment no one bothers you, and you can restore your emotional resource. There are people who need constant communication, for them this is not a problem. There are people-introverts. They need to be alone in order to process information and the experiences that they have in a characteristic mode for them.

You must agree and observe these agreements. If possible, fill the day with such matters that would bring a sense of satisfaction. So that your isolation does not turn into an infinite groin day. So that every day there are new, albeit small, but achievements. This can be the development of a new dish, watching an interesting film, studying new words in a foreign language, so that every inverted sheet in the calendar is filled with small victories.

It is very important that a person is satisfied with himself. If he is satisfied, this is the key to good mood, high performance and stress resistance. It is unpleasant, but it will be difficult to transfer. The older people have already passed through this. We lived in difficult periods when not only a lifestyle changed, but also social formations. We all had to rebuild. What is happening now is unpleasant, but tolerated.

With the gradual removal of restrictions, jobs will open, people will return to work. New jobs will appear. Where something closed, something new will certainly open. The life of society does not stand still, it will develop further. Now, realizing that difficulties are coming, it makes sense to plan your life differently, try to find new application to your skills and abilities.

It is clear that when a specific person concerns the problem of loss of work, especially when he is responsible for his family, this is a heavy load, but this can and should be prepared for this. It is necessary to consider all resources and understand how to dispose of them. Any step will be positive if it leads to greater stability. Gradually, everything will work out.

All crises end and they end with certain growth. It is difficult to explain to a person who is in stress that he is at the stage of new opportunities, but in fact it is. Find a resource for the new there are many opportunities to get out of this situation. Already now, many psychologists advise Online. Consult for free. Those who consult a fee significantly reduced prices.

We are all in the same boat and should help each other. Of course, you will have to deal with the problems of further life management, and it is better with the help of professionals. Often, problems are associated not only with external, but also with internal restrictions, when a person cannot declare himself as a good specialist, to claim better work when he doubts that he can withstand the stress, to survive at the initial stage of his new activity.

Most have such a resource, you just have to find it. Just for this, there are experts. If more serious experiences arise, such as anxiety and depression, you need to consult doctors now, without starting the situation.
