The Effect Of Psychotherapeutic Methods On Students’ Psychological Recovery And Anxiety Levels

Abstract

This article presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of the effect of psychotherapeutic methods on students’ psychological recovery, emotional stability, and anxiety levels. The study was conducted among first-year students of Fergana State University; the total sample included 32 respondents. At the initial diagnostic stage, the Anxiety Level Measurement Scale was used. In the next stage, psychotherapeutic sessions were organized for 12 students who demonstrated high and moderately high anxiety levels. The sessions included relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, autogenic training, positive thinking methods, emotional release exercises, and group support. The results showed that after the intervention the participants’ mean anxiety score decreased from 27.67 to 18.42 points. The findings are interpreted from a psychological perspective, and practical recommendations are proposed for supporting students’ mental health in higher education institutions
