Modern aspects of providing psychological assistance to athletes

our article examined modern aspects of providing psychological assistance to athletes through the transformation of an athlete's personality. Transformation is understood as expanding the boundaries of perception, gaining the ability to move towards new experiences. The article discusses some aspects of a psychologist's work with conditions of trauma, depression, anxiety, and distorted attachment. The process of becoming an athlete is considered through the acquisition of sensory experience, which acts as a self-regulating function to provide the athlete with the opportunity to creatively adapt to a stressful situation that arises in sports. Through modern psychoanalysis and the Gestalt approach, the article examines ways to work with anxiety from a field perspective and the integrity of contact processes without separation from the family, cultural, economic and historical context. The possibilities of Gestalt therapy in providing psychological support to an athlete are being investigated.
