The article addresses the issue of developing personal life competence within the framework of the psychological-hermeneutic, specifically narrative, approach. The feasibility of using narrative technologies in the context of developing personal life competence is substantiated: by constructive problem-solving, effective setting and solving of life tasks, strengthening psychological resilience, enhancing self-awareness and reflection, and building productive adaptive strategies during the prolonged war in Ukraine.
The article characterizes the author's narrative technology as "Core Personal Questions," aimed at developing personal life competence through self-reflection, defining personal values, motives, and goals, and forming a holistic self-image. The proposed technology helps individuals understand their own experiences, current resources, beliefs, behavioral strategies, self-presentations, and life and personal projects, which is of significant importance during the war.
The narrative technology "Core Personal Questions" is directed towards constructing retrospective, current, and prospective self-narratives, through which the understanding of life and personal experiences, determination of meaningful priorities and prospects, and adaptation to the current crisis conditions occur. The use of this technology involves the development of personal life competence in three dimensions: routine-selective, adaptive, and innovative. The methodological tools are based on key questions, the search for answers to which fosters self-reflection, independent setting, clarification, and redefinition of the main life tasks by the individual. The article illustrates the possibilities of applying the proposed narrative technology in working with vulnerable populations during the war in Ukraine.
