My psychological perspective on playing adults

Play includes attractive activities that provide a sense of control

The feeling of control can be described as a feeling of mastery, and he has a self -judgment to choose the actions of the individual. The age of adulthood, unlike childhoodRegulator of responsibilities and reality demands. This means often trading spontaneity for commitment. Over time, this can reduce fun capacity.

However, the human motive for play is an evolutionary sequence. Nerve Select Jaak PanksepP (Panksepp and Biveen, 2012) He plays A system is located in the under the cortical areas of the brain, which is an emotional system shared by mammals. He said that play is necessary for emotional development and Steadfastness. Since the play develops into more complex and symbolic forms, especially those that include the language, it also occupies the modern cerebral cortex.

It is worth noting that Panksepp and Biven (2012) showed that the increase in play activity in mice models reduced the symptoms associated with moods and ADHDLike behaviors, which indicates the wider mental health benefits. These results support the idea that play is still related to nervous and psychological life.

Learn to play: neuroscience and psychological analytical visions

It is understood that adult play is neither automatic nor simple. Challenge appears: How to start playing and how to keep it (Panksepp and BIIN, 2012). Literature indicates that excessive play is a developmental achievement that requires Emotional organizationSelf -awareness and the ability to try joy without Guilt Or inhibition.

Freud (1960) Note that adults often refuse to play as “meaningless or ridiculous.” I think playing becomes possible when one could “lift the embarrassment of the embarrassment”. Similarly, Psychoanalyst Mark Selims (2021) stressed the importance of emotional balance in maintaining the game. For example, if one person controls play, he loses his cooperative nature, and in the worst scenario of cases, it can lead to violence or abuse. If the player loses a sense of independence, the activity may turn into coercion, addictedOr misconduct. Note Panksepp and Biven (2012) as well Stimulant-Outstanding Dopamine The real fun storms can be suppressed by creating anesthetic effect or freezing, and lacks the participation required for real play.

in PsychotherapySometimes adult patients ask, “He just talks, how does it work?” The possible answer is that therapeutic spaces provide qualities that facilitate playing for adults: curiosity, flexibility, emotional balance and safe experimentation. These conditions can wake up to sleeping and support personal growth.

Expect fun, joy and laughter

Basically, play must lead to fun, joy, or fun, often, He laughed. If the activity is not fun, it cannot be considered a really play. The positive effect, including laughter, is a major indication of the occurrence of the play and that psychological defenses may be mixed.

Panksepp (Panksepp and BIIN, 2012) is a laughing sound and a measurable sign of the positive effect. Freud (1960), in Jokes and their relationship to UnconsciousHe also stressed that laughter represents the soul that turned from discouragement to emotional release. More importantly, the ability to laugh in an original manner in adulthood reflects emotional maturity and integration. In psychotherapy, laughter is often a sign of sharing with meaningful. When using it appropriately, it can indicate that the person is open, connected and actively shared in the therapeutic process.

conclusion

The incorporation of play in adults is vital to psychological well -being, as is the case in childhood. This post represents my first effort to fill the current knowledge about playing through disciplines.
