Editor's note: After coughing twice, I was worried that I was infected with the new coronavirus. The elderly at home could not go out to play with their old friends. Suddenly, they were in a low mood and were about to go to work. The young people who liked to stay up late suddenly had insomnia... These are all psychological diseases. Starting from now on, Chuncheng on the Palm will launch a series of online interviews on the "Epidemic War Heart Defense Line" to conduct exclusive online interviews with experts from Yunnan Province's psychological crisis intervention group for the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, helping citizens to reduce the psychological harm caused by the epidemic in a targeted manner, adjust to return to a positive and healthy psychological state and resume work and work together, and wait for the arrival of spring flowers.
Palm Chuncheng News The previous little palm caught a cold: I want to have a hot pot to suppress my shock. Now I accidentally cough twice: Don’t stop me, I’m going to “submit myself”. How many people are like Xiaozhang, rationally understanding not to panic, while involuntarily becoming sensitive and suspicious, repeatedly taking their body temperature. In this interview, Xiaozhang interviewed Chen Rong, associate professor of , Yunnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, of the , of the Yunnan Provincial Psychological Assistance Volunteer Service Group for the Psychological Assistance Epidemic in Yunnan Province, and taught you how to eliminate "suspicious diseases".
Reporter: When staying at home for too long during home isolation, many people will feel anxious, and even feel that they are infected with pneumonia. In addition, based on your experience, what other emotions will the public develop?
Chen Rong: Emotion is the inner experience that accompanies people in the process of cognizing things. Anxiety is a concern for possible dangers and threats. In addition, the more common emotional reactions include panic, being at a loss and being busy due to fear of illness; being worried that one can’t help but complain about reality or fall into regret; being ashamed is often the case of illness or isolation clinical observers who are “stigmatized” when they are labeled; being frustrated by sadness or disappointment. These emotional experiences may also continue to turn to self-aggression without being resolved, creating a sense of incompetence and anger, or depression and emotional indifference.
Reporter: Regarding mental health counseling during the epidemic, how do you determine whether you should seek help from psychological intervention?
Chen Rong: In the face of crisis events like the epidemic, everyone has different degrees of involvement in reality, but they absorb different information to construct inner reality, that is, psychological involvement. There are three aspects for reference: frequent ignite bad emotions or emotional numbness; complete loss of regularity in life; lack of effective response and social support. Of course, the most important thing is that after self-regulation and guidance from people around you, you still feel unable to cope with it, so you can consider seeking professional psychological help.
Reporter: In daily life, how should we relieve our inner anxiety and panic through self-regulation?
Chen Rong: In terms of self-regulation, can learn to accept the bad emotions that appear during stress and write them down. Writing them down is more effective than simple thinking and thinking. After anger, sadness, anger and other emotions, the overall psychological behavior can be relatively restored to normal after an attack. On the contrary, in the face of major stimuli, it is even worse if these reactions are not performed.
is relative to accepting control. There is no absolute sense of security in the world. Different standards must be adjusted and selected as the prevention and control situation changes. Don’t be overwhelmed by massive epidemic information. Apart from the screen sweeping or disinfection, no matter what kind of communication, the content is the epidemic, which will make people’s psychology firm and difficult to recover. Clarify what cannot be changed and what can be changed, and build a relatively regular life as the epidemic develops. One feature of the
crisis is that it is forced into our lives without negotiation. Even if it is not made, it is a choice. For example, humans and microorganisms have "breaking negotiations" and act in self-protection or isolation according to regulations is an unchangeable reality. Only under this premise can we talk about self-psychological counseling, such as giving full play to our own characteristics, diaries, paintings, letters, writing, parent-child games and role-playing, etc., to avoid falling into emptiness and boredom.
In addition, you can also learn some relaxation skills, which can help us establish boundaries with the crisis and maintain a relative sense of psychological security when anxiety and fear occur.In short, you can imagine the virus and its epidemic as an uninvited guest, accept it intrusion and stay in the living room for a while. Only by protecting and separating realistically and maintaining the boundaries psychologically can we go to the bedroom, go to the kitchen, and go to the balcony to the balcony. As long as the home of the soul is up to you, the crisis is just a passerby in most people's lives.
