In compact settlements of IDPs in Kutaisi there were held 8 group meetings with psychologist that were attended by 73 women, aged 28 to 62.

In the regional Women Support centres of Khurcha, Senaki, Kutaisi, Tskhaltubo, Poti, Khoni there were held group meetings as well as four individual meetings and three calls were received by the "hot line” of Fund "Sukhumi”.

This is the statistic. And the content of the meetings was interesting and useful.

Firstly because they were devoted to emotions and feelings and secondly, participants were given tips and "recipes" how to control emotions...

According to psychologists, our behavior is formed from our childhood, based on sensory experience: the tactile (touching), olfactory (smelling), gustatory, auditory, visual "contacts" with the outside world. We experience positive emotions (joy) or negative emotions (frustration, grief, resentment, anger)…

In a state of negative emotional arousal the internal structure of an individual is destroyed which hinders the process of individualization and socialization.

Unfortunately, we are rarely taught how to cope with negative emotions.

Psychologists advise us to get rid of negative emotions that prevent us from life, and to use positive emotions to feel our own life.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
