I helped evacuate people from areas of active fighting and eventually had to leave my hometown myself

“I helped evacuate people from areas of active fighting and eventually had to leave my hometown myself. Now I’m safe, but I don’t know how to move forward. I have a disability, I’m raising two children with disabilities, I have no home, and I feel like I’m no longer needed. How can I find a reason to keep living?” This is the question one of our followers submitted to our expert as part of our “Ask a Psychologist” series.

After everything a person has been through, it can be difficult to figure out how to rebuild their life, explains practicing psychologist Yana Kobets. Especially when you have to care not only for yourself but also for your children and your family’s well-being, while uncertainty and everyday challenges drain your energy and hope for the future.

In our new video, the psychologist shares advice on how to find emotional support and inner strength in such circumstances and gradually rediscover a sense of purpose in life. Watch the video and share it with anyone who might benefit from her guidance.
