Purpose. The article is devoted to the theoretical study of emotional competence as a resource for recovery after a traumatic experience.
Methods. For theoretical analysis, a set of general scientific and special psychological methods was used, in particular, the analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, which allowed to generalize modern scientific approaches to understanding emotional competence and traumatic experience of the individual. The comparative-analytical method is used to compare theoretical models of emotional regulation and their role in the processes of psychological recovery. At the same time, the method of conceptualization aimed at clarifying the content of key concepts and identifying the mechanisms of the influence of emotional competence on overcoming the consequences of psychotraumatic events was used.
Results. The theoretical analysis showed that emotional competence has a significant impact on the recovery process after a traumatic experience. The generalization of scientific approaches made it possible to identify the key psychological mechanisms of its action, through which the manifestations of depressive symptoms, anxiety and internal disorganization of the individual are reduced. It has been established that the formation of skills of emotional regulation, awareness and verbalization of emotions is an important factor in stabilizing the psycho-emotional state and increasing adaptive capabilities after the trauma.
Conclusions. A generalization of the theoretical analysis suggests that recovery from trauma is possible provided the development of emotional competence as one of the key resources that provides awareness, acceptance and regulation of emotions and contributes to the restoration of psychological balance and integration of traumatic experience.
