So what is fairy tale therapy? The first thing that comes in

through parables, stories, fairy tales, legends, myths. And here

this question, probably, is and will be many answers. Knowledge is hidden

fairy tale therapy is a treatment with fairy tales, we mean combining
open with the client the knowledge that lives in the soul
and are currently psychotherapeutic.
Some people think that fairy tale therapy is a me-

If - a figment of the imagination, then why are modern detective tales

the secret of fairy tales - at any age in them

Therefore, fairy tale therapy is a process of searching for meaning,
encryption of knowledge about the world and the system of relationships in it.
The process of deciphering knowledge ... Indeed, when
you can look at a fairy tale from different angles, at different levels

children is connected, first of all, with the awareness of the meaning of fabulous events
and their relationship to real life situations. If a child with

because we are children from reality to fairy tales. Vice versa,
fairy tale therapy is the process of forming a connection between fairy tale
events and behavior in real life. This is a process
transfer of fabulous meanings into reality.
For example. The guys and I read and analyze the tale of R. Kip-
linga about Keith. Its plot is as follows. There was a whale in the ocean and
he had a big gulp. And indiscriminately, he ate every time
fish, opening its big mouth every time. He ate and
herring, and herring's aunt, and beluga, and stellate sturgeon, every time
doing AM, AM, AM. Finally, the moment came when he ate all
fish. And he was starving for a while. However, it turned out that still

She undertook to show Keith the site of the shipwreck. Meanwhile
the shipwrecked Sailor was sitting on the raft,
diving into the water and smoking a pipe. Keith, as always, without thinking

thinking that Kit would be offended by her, she swam deep into the bottom and
buried itself in the silt ... Here is such an instructive story.
Usually we begin the discussion with answers to the question: what is this fairy tale?> Further, we recall that in fairy tales it is always encrypted
We have found a lot of important information for us and we are starting the game. Its essence is as follows. On the example of heroes, a fairy tale
wants to teach us something important and we have to guess -
what exactly. Take Keith, for example. By the way, how do you think-
those, did the story end well for him? Many children (and
even adults) say that the Sailor treated Kit badly:
Is it human to insert a lattice into the throat? please, - we ask the guys, - what would happen to Kit,

children is associated, first of all, with the awareness of the meaning of fabulous

events and their relationship with real life situations. If

a child from an early age will begin to realize "fairy lessons",

answer the question: "What does the fairy tale teach you and me?"

answers with his behavior, then he will become an active user

your "bank of life situations". And I want to believe there will be more

wise and creative. By the way, this is the answer to those who criticized

us for taking children away from reality and into fairy tales.

On the contrary, fairy tale therapy is a process of forming a connection

between fabulous events and behavior in real

life. This is the process of transferring fabulous meanings into

reality.

For example. The guys and I read and analyze the fairy tale

R.Kipling about Keith. Its plot is as follows. There was a whale in the ocean

and he had a big gulp. And indiscriminately, he ate all

different fish, each time opening its big mouth. He ate and

herring, and herring's aunt, and beluga, and stellate sturgeon, every time

doing AM, AM, AM Finally, the moment came when he ate all

fish. And he was starving for a while. However, it turned out that still

a little thorny Fish survived. She swam beside

with whale's ear. She told him: “Listen, did you eat when-

Anything human? " Keith didn't know who it was, so he asked

bring a couple to him. But Rybka explained to him that the man

large, and it is enough to eat one to stay long

well-fed. She undertook to show Keith the site of the shipwreck. Topics

time shipwrecked sailor sat on a raft,

dangling his legs into the water and smoking a pipe. Keith, as always, without thinking

swallowed the Sailor along with the raft, pipe and braces.

The sailor in Keith's belly began to dance, which caused the latter

terrible hiccups. Keith asked Rybka for advice on how to get rid of

hiccups. And I got the answer - to release the Sailor. “But then I

I'll stay hungry! " - Keith was indignant. “You choose what is best

Hiccup or be hungry, ”Rybka replied. Keith chose

the latter and opened his mouth. But the Sailor refused to go out. Only

if Keith takes him to the shores of England, the Sailor will leave the poor man in

rest. Keith had no choice and took the Mariner to England. BUT

The sailor split the raft, tied the chips with braces - it turned out

sieves ka. Coming out of Keith's belly, the Sailor thrust the grate down his throat

Kit. Since then, Kit can only eat small food. And Rybka,

thinking that Kit would be offended by her, she swam deep into the bottom and

buried itself in the silt ... Here is such an instructive story.

We usually start the discussion by answering the question: “Oh

a lot of important information is encrypted and we start the game

"Fabulous Lessons". Its essence is as follows. On the example of heroes

the fairy tale wants to teach us something important and we must

guess what exactly. Take Keith, for example. By the way,

do you think the story ended well for him?

Many children (and even adults) say that the Sailor is bad

dealt with Keith: is it human to insert into the throat

lattice? “Please tell me,” we ask the guys, “what

what would have happened to Kit if the Sailor hadn't put it down his throat

grate? " “I would eat fish, as before,” they answer. “But in

the tale says that he ate all the fish, because that is why he and

I had to “try a man.” The guys think and

answer: "then Keith would starve to death." “That is, it turns out that

if the Sailor hadn't put a grate in Kit's throat, poor Kit

I would die of hunger, - we repeat thoughtfully. - It's strange how

so, at first glance, an unpleasant event turned out to be vital

important to China? What did the fairy tale want to teach us? "

The most important thing for us is to create a situation in which

the child can reflect on the meaning and ambiguity

situations. At this moment, the child learns the philosophy of life: no

unambiguous events, even a seemingly unpleasant situation can

after a while turn into a blessing. Some reading now

these lines can say, is it not too early for a child to think about

with such things, does he understand it? Maybe he doesn't understand

therefore, it is important for us to explain to children in what specific

life situations they can use this fabulous

lesson. “Guys, there have probably been times in your life when you

felt that you were offended; you maybe mad at

offender, thought about how to repay him. Remembered

such situations? Now let's try to use

our fabulous lesson: the whale offended by the Sailor received

a new opportunity to get food. Think, and which one

the opportunity you received from your abuser. Reply to this

the question is not easy, especially if it was very painful. But

fairy tale us

teaches that there are no only bad events. Some

offenders help us reflect on what we do not have

it turns out that we do not know how or we do it badly, or with the wrong

are friends, or ... "

So a fabulous lesson came into real life and directed

the child on the way to awareness of the events taking place with him.

“I wonder why the Sailor made and inserted this grating, because he and

so ended up at home? " If we have not spoken to the children about

the consequences for Keith of this action of the Sailor, then many children

may reply that the Sailor had inserted a grate into Kit's throat so that

punish him. In our situation, it turns out that the punishment

care is hidden.

Now we can remember if there were in our life

situations where the punishment hid concern. So

gradually, we will come to an explanation of those actions of the parents,

which are incomprehensible or offend the child. And he will receive

it is not easy to talk about your resentment or anger, but also

to comprehend the situation in a new way, using fabulous lessons. WITH

on the other hand, the Sailor performed the action we are analyzing,

because I thought about the future. In the future, he could again

go to sea and meet the man-eating whale. This is,

naturally, it was not part of his plans. In addition, the Sailor was

interested in fish farming, which would be difficult,

in the presence of a fish-eating whale. Finally, he thought about the future.

Kita. “Guys, what would you and I call a person who

thinking about the consequences of his actions? " Smart, good,

wise - children usually say. And we can introduce a new one

concept - "FAR-VIEW". This is the one who sees not only

what is near, but also what is in the distance. “Now guys, let's

remember the situations when you were far-sighted, and when you were

far-sighted parents, teachers ”. This is not an easy task and

for an adult, but it is very important for the formation of I-

baby concept. “If there is a visionary person, then

there is also NON-DISTINCTIVE. Which of the heroes of the fairy tale was

short-sighted and when? .. What did it lead to? " Probably our

the main task is to put the question in such a way that it prompts

reflection, and not just was a test of memorization. IN

further, if we notice negative manifestations of behavior in

child, we can always turn to fairytale heroes:

“Do you remember Kit (Rybka, etc.) from our history? You do not

you find nothing in common between what is happening now and what

What did the fairy tale warn and teach us about? .. Think, please. "

Of course, this is far from all the meanings of the story about Keith, Sailor and Rybka. This is just one example of how "works"

the principle of understanding the relationship between the meaning of a fairy-tale situation and

real life. I would like to believe that many parents, teachers and

psychologists not only read fairy tales to their children, but also together

reflect on them. After all, "a person who is not aware" often

becomes a toy in the hands of circumstances ... So, fairy tale therapy

It is also a process of objectifying problem situations.

Objectification of problem situations ... What is behind this, on

at first glance, a complex phrase? What's going on inside

person? And can everything be "objectified"? Probably expensive

Hey colleague, in your practice there have been many cases when you

treated with acute mental pain. How to objectify

the loss of a loved one, misfortunes that have fallen from "nowhere".

There are more and more such questions in our life.

more. However, the analysis of early childhood experience turns out to be clearly

it is not enough when a person obsessively asks himself and you a question -

for what? Let's turn to fairy tales. Why exactly on

Is there so many trials for the protagonist? And what

happens as a result of all the adventures and misadventures? How

as a rule, patients answer this question: “It becomes

stronger. " “Did he want to get stronger? After all, he just acted on

situations! " - you may say. "This is how life turned out" -

the patient can answer. This statement already contains

the key to accepting the traumatic situation, and this key is the patient

suggested to himself. Here is an amazing fairy tale therapy

paradox! A person who turned to a psychologist for help, on

at first glance, it is in a weaker position. However, the tale

teaches that tests are given only to the strongest. To someone who

can withstand them, realize them, use them for good.

The test is given by strength. So who is weak here? Understanding

this simple truth often produces psychotherapeutic

effect: a "wounded" person suddenly realizes inside himself

source of strength. It is still unknown what and how to do, but it is already clear

I CAN. And in this case, fairy tale therapy is a process

activation of resources, potential of the individual. For many

fairy tales are associated with magic. What is magic? This

Paracelsus also asked himself the question. Wizarding world, according to

Paracelsus, this is an invisible spiritual analogue of the visible Nature,

populated by hosts of curious creatures called

natural spirits. Paracelsus divided them into four groups in

in accordance with the elements by which they are generated and

in which they dwell. Spirits of the earth - gnomes, spirits of water -

undines, fire spirits - salamanders, air spirits - sylphs.

Paracelsus taught that spirits are actually alive

creatures resembling human beings in shape.

It is difficult for people to know the magical world of natural spirits by virtue of

underdevelopment of our senses, unable to penetrate

limits of gross elements. There is an idea behind these reflections

spirituality of the surrounding world. Many people note

that it is in nature that they are covered by a sense of magic and they

feel happy. Is it about communicating with natural

spirits are we talking about here? .. Anyway, the idea of ​​Living Nature

gives us a rich toolkit for personal development. If

we will tell your child about the amazing little invisible

creatures living in every tree, bush, flower, blade of grass,

will there be a desire to thoughtlessly break branches and pick flowers? WITH

on the other hand, the plant world (related to the spirits of the earth)

created for loving person... Plants are happy to give

his fruits, and invisible spirits can go to another

plant. If a child knows that in every stream, lake,

the river has its own undine, will he want to pollute the water? Indeed, in

spirits cannot live in dirty water and it will become dead. If

the child will know that even in a small fire he lives

salamander, he wants to play with matches, mindlessly

scattering frightened salamanders around the house? If the child will

know that little sylphs and sylphs live in the air,

bringing good dreams and smiles, will he really be in

to pollute the air with suffocating gases in the future?

In this aspect, fairy tale therapy is a process of ecological

education and upbringing of the child.

But magic is not only associated with the inhabitants of the magic

the world. It is associated with creativity, creation, faith in good

strength and new opportunities. However, it must be remembered that

magic is often invisible to the eye, but palpable in the heart ...

The little girl received a magic scarf as a gift,

who can transform her into whoever she wishes. She is right there

wants to turn into a horse. “It's fine what you want

turn into a horse, but you remember that if after

transformations look in the mirror, you will see not a horse there, but

myself?" "Why?" - the child pulls in disappointment. “Imagine if

in the form of a horse you will enter the kitchen, what will happen to your grandmother? " "She is in

obmo- rock will fall. " “Now you understand why the magic

invisible? .. Of course, so as not to frighten those close to you. But

inside yourself; turning into a horse, you will gain its strength,

beauty, endurance. And how will these come in handy in your life

quality? "

So, magic is also transformation. In a fairy tale -

real, but outwardly not visible to everyone in life. Magic

happens inside us, gradually improving the world around us.

In this sense, fairy tale therapy is a process of improvement

inner nature and the world around.

Of course, fairy tale therapy is also environmental therapy,

a special fabulous setting in which

potential parts of the personality, something unrealized,

a dream may materialize; and most importantly, it appears

the sense of security and the scent of Mystery ...

People have always been engaged in fairy tale therapy. True, they called

it is different. Today we distinguish four stages in the development of fairy-tale

therapy. It is noteworthy that none of the

stages did not end, giving way to a new one. Therefore each

stage marked the beginning of a certain process.

The first stage of fairy tale therapy is oral folk art.

Its beginning is lost in the mists of time, but the process of oral (a

later and written) creativity continues to this day.

The second stage of fairy tale therapy - collection and research

fairy tales and myths. Study of myths and tales in

psychological, deep aspect associated with the names of K.-G. Cabin boy,

M.-L. von Franz, B. Begtelheim, V. Propp and others. Nicely

note that the terminology of psychoanalysis is also based on myths ...

The process of learning the hidden meaning of fairy tales and myths

continues to this day.

The third stage is psychotechnical. Probably not a single one

educational, psychological and psychotherapeutic technology "

traffic police, in which the method "Compose a fairy tale" is not used.

Modern practical approaches apply the tale as

technique as an excuse for psychodiagnostics, correction and development

personality.

The fourth stage is integrative. This stage is associated with

the formation of the concept of Complex Fairytale Therapy, with

a spiritual approach to fairy tales, with an understanding of fairy tale therapy

as natural, organic to human

perception of the educational system, tested by many

generations of our ancestors.

Today fairy tale therapy synthesizes many achievements

psychology, pedagogy, psychotherapy and philosophy of various

cultures - all this is "packed" in a fabulous form, in a form

metaphors. “What you can’t think of to return to yourself!” -

fairy tale rapists joke. Could be called fairy tale therapy

"Metaphorotherapy", but, you see, it's not so beautiful and

sounds close.

In the fairytale therapy process at the moment

five types of fairy tales are used, which are constructed in

according to the current situation and are served under various

"Sauces": analysis, storytelling, writing, rewriting,

doll therapy, image therapy, drawing, psychodynamic

meditations, setting of fairy tales in the sandbox and much more (and

it is not fairy tale therapy itself, but its fascinating context).

So what is fairy tale therapy? Contemplation and disclosure

inner and outer world, comprehension of the past,

modeling of the future, selection process for each client

his special tale ... The process of Cognition in the most

a figurative form consonant with our Soul. Maybe exactly

for this, the centuries-old wisdom of mankind has been sent to us

HOW A FAIRY TALE LEARNED TO DOCTOR

Tatiana Bolshakova

Once upon a time there was a Fairy Tale. She had fun, because next to

always good and faithful friends. Together they could and

laugh and rejoice; and sometimes it was scary for them,

but it always ended well.

And then one day I met the Man's Tale.

Do you love people? - he asked.

Yes, she replied. She really loved everyone.

Then come with me and I will teach you how to help people,

rid them of disease.

Can you take your girlfriends with you?

You can, - the Man allowed. And then she agreed:

After all, it's not scary anywhere with friends.

The man brought the company to a large, beautiful house. There was

many people, and they all listened for a long, long time to fairy tales, stories,

anecdotes, parables. Then people started talking hotly about something not

very understandable, and they began to pronounce various learned words. I only understood the Tale that strange people gather from it

with girlfriends some sense to extract and different drugs

She was frightened at first, but did not run away: friends are nearby - ashamed,

and it is curious how this meaning will be extracted. Yes, and people

I wanted to help so that they would not get sick, poor people. After all, when most

well, I want others to live happily too.

And the life of the Fairy Tale began at the Institute of Fairy Tale Therapy.

At first, indeed, many things seemed strange. After all, she

used to that, listening to fairy tales, everyone smiles, but here they listened

seriously, then argued for a long, long time, sometimes even frowned,

but, leaving her, everyone said exactly: "Thank you!" And what

extracted from her, it also seemed to strangers, as if not from her

But then I realized the Tale, that people discovered a new one in it.

talent, and now she can not only please, but also heal.

To heal what is most needed - the Human Soul!

And having learned to heal, fairy tales again went around the world,

continuing to tell their stories, only now they have to

each has its own, special ...

PRINCIPLES OF WORKING WITH FAIRY TALES

Each fairy tale has its own uniqueness. However, the look

on fairy tale therapy as an educational system involves

general patterns of working with fabulous material.

eat today, creating new fairy tales. Reanimated things, creatures,

natural phenomena are capable of acting independently. Ancient

consciousness was peculiar to find personalities human

feelings and relationships Love, Grief, Kruchina, etc. This phenomenon

we also use in psychological and pedagogical practice

Folk tales are extremely important for us

1. The world around us is alive. Anything can be done at any moment

talk to us. This idea is important for the formation of a gentle and

a meaningful attitude to what surrounds us. Starting from

people, and ending with plants and man-made things.

2. The revived objects of the surrounding world are capable of action

to live independently, they have the right to their own life.

This idea is important for developing a sense of acceptance of the other.

3. Separation of good and evil, victory of good. This idea is important for

maintaining good spirits and developing striving for the best.

4. The most valuable thing is gained through the test, but what was given

for nothing, can quickly leave. This idea is important for shaping

mechanism of goal setting and patience.

5. There are many helpers around us. But they come on

help only if we cannot deal with

situation or task yourself. This idea is important for shaping

feelings of independence, as well as trust in the world around them.

All these philosophical ideas can be discussed with our

pupils and clients.

Our life is multifaceted, therefore the plots of folk tales

diverse:

Fairy tales about animals, relationships between people and the belly

them. Children under five years old identify with animals, one hundred

want to be like them. Therefore, the tales of animals ray

most of all, they will pass on life experience to young children;

Household tales. Those who say that everything is finished in fairy tales

is a wedding and no one says what will happen next, it's a mistake

are. Household tales tell about the vicissitudes of the family

life, show ways to resolve conflict situations,

form a position of common sense and a healthy sense of humor

in relation to adversity, talk about small family

tricks. therefore everyday tales irreplaceable in the family con

counseling and when working with adolescents, aimed at

formation of the image of family relations;

Scary tales. Tales about evil spirits: witches, oops

rey, ghouls and others. In modern children's subculture

there are also horror stories. Apparently, here we have

dealing with the experience of child self-therapy: repeatedly modeling and

living an alarming situation in a fairy tale, children are freed from

tensions and acquire new ways of responding;

Fairy tales. The most fascinating fairy tales for

those who are over 6-7 years old. Thanks to fairy tales, unconscious

the body of a person receives a "concentrate" of life wisdom

and information about spiritual development person.

Working with fairy tales begins with analysis, discussion. When

fabulous meanings will be worked out and associated with real

life situations, you can use other

forms of working with fairy tales: making dolls, dramatization,

drawing.

Examples of PSYCHOLOGICAL work

WITH FOLK FAIRY TALES

"Ryaba Chicken"

Interestingly, the shorter the tale, the more

it has a concentrated meaning. Let's try

to reflect with our students and clients:

1. What is this tale about?

About the gift of fate ("golden egg") and what they do with

unprepared people;

About stereotypes of human behavior (if an egg, then by

he needs to be beaten, regardless of the quality of the shell);

About accidents that usually happen naturally

("The mouse ran, waved its tail, the testicle fell and broke");

Love for your neighbor ("do not cry grandfather, do not cry baba, I will

you have another testicle, not a golden one, but a simple one ”);

About a broken dream or hope (the testicle has broken); and about

many other things.

It seems that this is not a children's fairy tale at all. Of course more

it is suitable for discussion with adults and adolescents

philosophy of life situations and the lessons that we

extract.

2. What does the fairy tale teach us?

Of course, keep your house clean, not run up to

the appearance of mice. In this case, there is hope that the golden egg

to not be broken;

Flexibility to deal with new or difficult situations. If

if Grandfather and Baba were flexible in solving the problem, they would not

began to beat the golden egg, and found him The best way example

neniya. By the way, which one?

Do not give to your neighbor what he is not ready to receive (during

asking what gifts we choose for others, and what

we wish to receive it ourselves); and much more.

All this can be a topic for discussion.

3. Please explain why Grandfather and Baba cry when

the testicle broke, because they themselves wanted it to happen,

when they beat him.

Indeed, why are Grandfather and Baba so inconsistent?

Maybe they wanted to break the egg themselves, without a stranger

help? Maybe they cry from what they saw inside

eggs are not what you expected? Maybe they really wanted

to keep the egg intact?

When discussing a fairy tale, our main task is to sum up

a child or an adult to the fact that all the phenomena of our life

are ambiguous. To do this, we "turn" the fabulous

situation as a crystal, and consider its facets.

"Kolobok"

It may seem that this is a tragic fairy tale - after all, in

at the end, its main character dies. However, let's wait with

premature interpretation.

Who is Kolobok? This is bread, pie. What is he for

was born? So that Grandfather and Baba can eat it.

Gingerbread man is born to be eaten. At the end of the tale, so

It happened. He fulfilled his purpose.

It is often said that this tale shows the child

consequences of violation of the prohibition. But it is probably more correct

would talk about a loss of vigilance and stereotype

behavior. Gingerbread man naively believes that the model of behavior,

successful in most cases, always effective. Life teaches

us flexibility, a variety of ways to solve problems, search.

The gingerbread man "rested on his laurels," and therefore lost his vigilance.

Another topic for discussion (especially with

adolescents) is the desire to test oneself. Find out your

resource opportunities. Feel to what the hell you can

reach. Gingerbread man is constantly increasing the level of difficulty

tasks, and this game draws him in, he could not during

stay. For whom will this topic of discussion become relevant?

So what does the fairy tale "Kolobok" teach us? Accepting its

destination; skill in time will stop in the process

testing yourself; awareness of the consequences of violating the prohibition;

creative problem solving? ..

"By magic"

The tale about Emelya is ambiguous. At the most superficial

level this tale can be superficially criticized

Mikhail Zadornov. Indeed, who is Emelya, how

not a "freeloader" ?! He is so lazy that he does nothing himself.

Everyone knows the aphorism: "Laziness is the engine of progress."

The pursuit of comfort gives rise to amazing engineering

solutions. So, perhaps, the self-propelled oven and sleigh reflected

the dream of our ancestors about the car?

If we consider the deeper meaning of the tale, then we can

remember the saying “we do without doing, and everything turns out

done. " But is it possible to "do without doing"? Turns out

Yes, if you make a mental action.

Emelya is a thinker, and a fairy tale shows us how they come to life

thoughts and ideas, the desired becomes real.

In order to create a mental image, a person needs

concentrate, disconnect from everyday affairs and worries,

to be alone. But such a person makes an impression

lazy. Unfortunately, at the level of events and behavior,

you can always tell a thinker from a lazy person ...

Emelya is distinguished by great inner wisdom. He is not

makes "unnecessary movements", does not fuss, lies on the stove (saves

strength for the main thing), but when he feels his chance, it becomes

active in holding it.

So what can the fairy tale about Emelya teach us, dear

reader?

Working with a fairy tale:

"The Tale of Rejuvenating Apples and Living Water"

(Russian folktale)

“In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there was a king,

and he had three sons: the eldest was called Fedor, the second -

Vasily, and the youngest - Ivan. The king is very outdated and

eyes became impoverished, but he heard that beyond the distant lands, in

in the thirtieth kingdom there is a garden with rejuvenating apples and

well with living water. If an old man eats this apple -

will rejuvenate, and with this water to wash the eyes of a blind man will

The king gathers a feast for the whole world, invites princes and boyars to the feast

and he says to them:

Who would, guys, get out of the chosen ones, get out

of hunters, traveled to the distant lands, to the thirtieth kingdom

in, would bring rejuvenating apples and living water a jug about two

twelve stigmas? I would write off my kingdom to this rider.

Then the larger one began to be buried behind the middle one, and the middle one behind

the lesser, and from the lesser there is no answer. Tsarevich Fyodor comes out and

Reluctance to give us the kingdom to people. I will go to the road

ku, I will bring you, the king-father, rejuvenating apples and water

a jug with twelve stigmas.

Fyodor-Tsarevich went to the stable yard, chooses a horse not-

worn out, bridles an unbridled bridle, takes a whip not whipped,

puts twelve girths with a girth, not for beauty, but for the sake of

fortress ... Fyodor-Tsarevich went to the path. Saw that

sat down, but did not see in which direction he went.

Whether he rode close, far, low, high, rode to

in the evening - the sun is red until sunset. And he reached the crossroads

three roads. There is a stone slab at the crossroads, and there is an inscription

written:

to be married. "

And he turned onto the path where a married man should be. Rode, rode, and

arrives at a tower under a golden roof. Here the red runs out

maiden and says to him:

Tsar's son, I'll take you out of the saddle, come with me bread

eat and sleep-rest.

No, girl, I don't want bread and salt, but I have no time to sleep

while away time. I need to move forward.

dear to you.

Then the beautiful girl took him out of the saddle and into the tower

led. I fed him, watered him and put him to sleep on the bed.

Fyodor-Tsarevich just lay down against the wall, this girl is alive

turned, and he flew underground, into a deep hole.

How long or short - the king again gathers a feast, princes and

boyars and says to them:

Here, guys, who would have got out of the hunters is young for me

strong apples and living water a jug of twelve stigmas? I

I would write off my kingdom to this rider.

Here again, the larger one is buried for the middle one, and the middle one for

the lesser, and from the lesser there is no answer. The second son comes out,

Vasily Tsarevich:

Father, I don't want to give the kingdom into the wrong hands. I

I'll go to the track, bring these things, hand them over to you.

Vasily Tsarevich goes to the stable yard, chooses a horse not-

worn out, bridles an unbridled bridle, takes a whip unlashed;

puts twelve girths with a girth.

Vasily the Tsarevich went. They saw how he sat down, but did not see,

which way he drove away ... Here he reaches the crossroads, where

lies a slab-stone, and sees:

“You will go to the right - to save yourself, to lose your horse. Left

you go - save the horse, lose yourself. You will go straight -

to be married. "

Thought, thought Vasily Tsarevich, and drove straight along the road, where

to be married. I arrived at a tower with a golden roof. Came out to

a beautiful girl and asks him to have a bite of bread, and lie down

sleep.

Tsar's son, do not rush to go, but hurry to do what

dear to you ...

Then she took him out of the saddle, led him into the tower, fed him,

watered and put to sleep.

Only Vasily Tsarevich lay down against the wall, she again turned

bed and he flew underground.

And there they ask:

Who's flying?

Vasily Tsarevich. And who is sitting?

Fyodor Tsarevich.

Seminar - workshop on fairy tale therapy for teachers on the topic: “ Fairy kaleidoscope»

Tasks:

Development of creativity, creative self-expression;

Creating harmony in the group.

Materials: sheets of paper F4; paints, pencils, markers; scissors; glue; magazines; audio cassette with calm music recording.

Fairytale therapy is experiencing a real boom in popularity. Numerous articles appear in newspapers and magazines. Family TV and radio channels include in their programs stories about the meaning of fairy tales in the development of a child. Most education professionals, be they a computer science teacher, foreign language or an educational psychologist, try to use the metaphorical language of a fairy tale in their work.

The attractiveness of fairy tale therapy for teachers can be explained, first of all, by its universality:

The tale is informative. Through the analysis of the fairy tale invented by the client, the psychologist receives information about his life, current state, ways to overcome difficulties and worldview positions.

The fairy tale is environmentally friendly. Being not in an ordinary, but in a dramatic reality, both the client and the psychologist are emotionally protected. This reduces the risk of "burnout", increases the client's confidence in the therapeutic process.

The tale is endless. By supplementing, changing, enriching the fairy tale, the client (psychologist) overcomes self-limitations and complements, changes and enriches his life.

The fairy tale is enchanting. The work of a psychologist, poor in demonstrativeness, gets the opportunity to be visible: turning to fairy tale therapy, he can use various dolls, costumes, musical instruments, artistic products of activity, and possibly a psychological puppet or drama theater.

The tale is emotional. Through participation in fairy-tale therapy sessions, a positive emotional charge is accumulated, social immunity is strengthened.

The tale is wise. Through a fairy tale, there is an opportunity to convey to a child, parents or teachers new ways and algorithms for getting out of a problem situation.

Another great advantage of the fairy tale is the absence of age restrictions. It is effective not only with preschoolers or junior schoolchildren, for whom it is their “native language”, but also with adults.

The process of self-expression through a fairy tale is directly related to the strengthening of a person's mental health and can be considered as a significant psycho-preventive factor. The use of fairy tale therapy technologies makes it possible to cope with their problems, restore emotional balance or eliminate existing behavioral disorders, overcome maladjustment, and contribute to intellectual development.

Now I suggest you sit down more comfortably, you can close your eyes, and listen to a fairy tale (to calm music).

"The Tale of the Wizard"(meditation)

“It was a long time ago. There was one amazing person in the world. He was handsome and kind. It's hard to say how old he was. His eyes sparkled so fervently that many thought: "He is very young." But looking at his long gray beard and hair, others said, "He is old and wise." This man knew how to do what others did not. He cooked with trees and flowers, animals and fish, underground waters and roots. He could cure diseased plants, animals and even humans. Many came to him for advice.

People called him the Wizard. No one knew where he came from, but they said that before he was an ordinary person, like everyone else.

Generations changed, and the Wizard still lived among people, and they felt that they were under his protection.

Once the Wizard told people:

I have lived among you for a long time. I feel like it's time for me to hit the road.

Why are you leaving us? - people said sadly. - It will not be easy for us without your protection and good advice... Give us at least a piece of your wisdom, they asked.

Look around, - said the Wizard, - you live in a wonderful world. Every day you can meet and see off the sun, listen to how the trees rustle and the water splashes, the logs crackle in the fire and the earth breathes. Let's freeze for a minute and listen. Do you feel it? Everything that surrounds us lives in its own Rhythm. And each of us has its own rhythm.

People froze, closed their eyes and heard how the earth breathes evenly and calmly, how waves splash on the shore - now quickly, now slowly. And most importantly, each of them heard their own rhythm: a calm heartbeat, free breathing. And suddenly people were seized by the feeling that something new and unusual was happening to them.

The Amazing and the Magic grows within us, - they told the Wizard with delight.

It looks like you have discovered my most important secret, - smiled the Wizard. - After all, Magic is the ability to hear and feel the Rhythm of Nature, everything that surrounds us, and live in accordance with it, making amazing transformations around, creating the world... You just need to hear your Rhythm and awaken the Creator living inside everyone, and the Magic will begin.

How are we going to use it? - people asked.

You can imagine yourself healthy and a handsome man, consider your image and capture it in your heart, and then sculpt it out of clay, - answered the Wizard. - And gradually, even imperceptibly for yourself, you will begin to change.

You can learn to hear the inner Rhythm of another person, to find correspondence with your Rhythm, and then every day will give the joy of mutual understanding.

You can learn to see in every event a Lesson for yourself, and then anxieties and worries will be replaced by peace and clarity. "

And now I want to invite you to listen to yourself, to feel the life of 4 elements inside yourself: earth, water, fire, air. In order for them to come to life, you now need to split into four groups (in a circle). Each group will show the power, beauty and necessity of one of the elements in our life.

The subgroups do a short rehearsal and act out in front of the rest of the participants.

Discussion:

How did you choose the roles?

Who first suggested using something?

How was the plot created?

"Anonymous Gift" (drawing)

“Now, please take some sheets of paper and try to portray the feelings that you are experiencing right now. Anything you may need you can find on the table. "

The recording of calm music is turned on, the group members are doing work on the theme "My feelings". Each participant should be busy only with their own work. After the drawings are ready, all group members are invited to transfer them to a special place. At the same time, the authors of the works remain anonymous. Each member of the group examines all the work and chooses the one that aroused a response in him, the desire to give a gift. After that, the group members make small gifts with wishes and put them on those works that they liked. If someone's work is left without a gift, the group makes a collective gift for this participant.

“See what wonderful creations you have made. And let all that you have created here in Everyday life helps you understand yourself better. "
