Navigating Tumultuous Scenarios: Wise counsel from YARPND experts on managing stress

In the wake of the recent tragic events in Moscow, such as the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, psychotherapist Altaana Alekseeva and clinical psychologist Yulia Semenova from the Yakutsk Psychoneurological Dispensary have offered practical advice to help individuals calm down and cope in difficult situations.

The specialists' advice is available on several platforms, including Yakutia.INFO, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Twitter. Here are some key points from their advice:

  1. Be kind to yourself and be a support to your loved ones. In times of stress, it's important to remember to take care of yourself and offer support to those around you.
  2. Engage in a simple task, preferably physical labor. Doing something tangible can help distract you from negative thoughts and provide a sense of accomplishment.
  3. Maintain psycho and information hygiene. Avoid forwarding messages about the tragedy and shield yourself from frightening news.
  4. Take a break from social media. While it can be tempting to stay updated on events, it's important to limit your exposure to distressing information.
  5. Breathe deeply and slowly for 1-2 minutes. Deep, slow breathing can help calm the mind and body.
  6. Return to and ground yourself in the real world. Focus on the present moment and the things around you to help ground yourself.
  7. We need strength now more than ever, take care of your nervous system and stop overthinking. It's important to remember to take care of your mental health and not let negative thoughts consume you.

You can find the specialists' full advice on Yakutia.INFO. Let's support each other and take care of ourselves during these challenging times.
