Summary/Abstract: The article explores the therapeutic potential of fairy tales. It examines the origin and nature of fairy tale material. Fairy tales are part of the cultural heritage of civilization and play a key role in the evolution of personal consciousness as part of the collective unconscious. Their therapeutic potential lies in the universality and timelessness of the motifs and symbols they contain. Through various techniques, fairy tales can be integrated into therapeutic or educational settings and used to expand consciousness. They offer a safe, non-ordinary space for exploring the inner world and relieving inner turmoil. By bypassing the defenses of the conscious mind, fairy tales reach the depths of human existence, reminding us of universal, eternal truths.
