Everything that is told in a therapeutic fairy tale is real. But not in the social, material world, but in the mental world. Our thoughts, feelings, unrealized aspirations, impressions of relationships and travel become heroes. The development of the plot and its twists and turns symbolically convey the dynamics of our experiences. And at the end of the fairy tale, the problem is resolved, answers to difficult questions about oneself and life are found. This collection includes the best - old and new - fairy tales of the famous St. Petersburg psychotherapist Andrei Vladimirovich Gnezdilov, chosen to become assistants to our thoughts and feelings, desires and possibilities, aspirations and values.
