The article explores the phenomenon of the psychological space of the individual as an integral component of the human ecosystem. The relevance of the problem is due to modern social and technological changes that require a person to have a clear spatial and temporal organization of life and internal stability. Psychological space is considered as a dynamic system that includes internal (thoughts, emotions, values) and external (physical territory, social ties) elements with which a person identifies himself. It is a driving force for the formation of life values that determine the attitude of the individual to various aspects of existence. It is revealed that sovereign psychological space is a key condition for well-being, psychological security and the realization of personal potential. It is established that it depends on the complex interaction of external (sociocultural, economic, environmental) and internal (genetic, individual-psychological) factors. The article reveals the functions of psychological boundaries that provide identity, protection from manipulation and the possibility of equal interaction with society. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the "deprived" space that arises as a result of the violation of boundaries, leading to a feeling of pressure, fatigue and apathy.
It is proposed to consider the human world as a single dynamic ecosystem, where the inner and outer worlds are interconnected. It is noted that the inner space of a person is not just a set of psychological phenomena, but a living, dynamic system that is formed in the process of his life. This process can be both a space for development and a limitation of potential, since excessive desire for adaptation without a conscious goal can lead to superficial assimilation of experience and loss of authenticity.
It is concluded that the understanding of psychological space as a dynamic system that requires constant development and protection opens up new prospects for the study of human well-being in modern society. This approach becomes the basis for the development of new methods of psychotherapy and psychocorrection aimed at harmonizing psychological space as a key component of the human ecosystem. Furthermore, this concept is important for creating person-centered programs that allow professionals in various fields to prevent such phenomena as emotional burnout and chronic fatigue. This emphasizes that the health of the inner world is an inseparable condition for professional effectiveness and overall quality of life.
