When familiar supports are cracking, it is especially important to understand what actually constitutes a sense of stability. This lecture helps to clarify why the ground disappears during a crisis, how inner support is structured, and what can restore a person's clarity, focus, and sense of self. Sometimes a person only needs one difficult period to feel that their usual stability has vanished, decisions become harder to make, and the energy for the most ordinary things diminishes. In such moments, the question of inner support becomes particularly acute - that very sense of focus that helps one not to crumble under the pressure of circumstances. The conversation will revolve around the main topic: what exactly psychologists call inner support, what elements it consists of, and at what moments in life it is formed. Listeners will gain a better understanding of why during crises the feeling of "no ground underfoot" arises, what exactly a person loses when they say they can no longer cope, and what one can lean on if external support suddenly weakens or disappears.
