“It was very exciting already at the selection stage. The participants had to formulate the main problems of clinical psychology and substantiate them. Moreover, the volume of the text, according to the terms of the Olympiad, was limited. I have named four problems, in my opinion, the most important.

This problem is very important for me, as it finds a response in the activities that I began to engage in with admission to KBSU. This is the study of a relatively new direction of dance movement therapy. It is very interesting for me to develop and develop this type of therapy, since I have been professionally engaged in sports ballroom dancing for 11 years with champions from various regions, including foreign ones, worked as a coach for two years and I know how dance affects the knowledge of oneself, one’s body, emotions, feelings, and also helps to cope with a number of problems, both personal and social, «- said Anastasia Moshura.
