Some Ukrainians who went abroad because of the Russian war are afraid to return to their native country during the fighting. Practicing psychologist and TV presenter Yulia Zoriy spoke about how to overcome this fear, the press service of the ICTV channel told GORDON. " And some of the settlers have already returned home.. No matter how scary and dangerous it is in Ukraine, it is easier for them at home than abroad. It is quite normal to be afraid to return to a country where there is a war, there are shellings, people die every day and not a single city is immune from explosions.. Considering all the horrors that people have experienced when leaving Ukraine, their anxiety is absolutely justified," According to her, fear is a defense mechanism that is embedded in a person as a basic setting.. And it can't be erased just by saying " “You need to ask yourself frankly: “What exactly am I afraid of \; hear the siren and run for cover; fear of the road in case of emergency travel abroad. Opposite each item, write an option for action.. For example, if you are afraid of a siren signaling danger, you need to find out where the nearest shelter is and invite your loved ones to go down there together. You need to share emotions with loved ones who support you.. This will help relieve the psyche.. To decide whether to return to Ukraine, you need to weigh the pros and cons. If the value of the desire to return, despite all the dangers, is higher than fear, a certain decision should be made.. If the fear is too great, it is better to stay in a safer place for now," Recall that earlier the expert listed the things that need to be done during the war to keep your psychological state normal.
