The research objective. The purpose of our work is to understand the importance of creativity as one of the factors in overcoming the consequences of conflict and traumatic situations.

The statement of basic materials. Focusing on creativity, creative activity as a means of overcoming the consequences of conflict-traumatic situations, will fill the spiritual void that has arisen. The cooperative, creative work of people who have experienced negative influences and work together for a common goal will contribute to the best adaptation to life in traumatic circumstances. Creativity brings satisfaction from the very process of activity, as a result of which a person forgets about negative situations that happened or are happening now in his life. By participating in creative work in a team of like-minded people or people who have experienced the same life difficulties, people relate to their problems more easily, because they feel mutual help and mutual support from those around them.

Conclusions. Thus, a comprehensively developed personality always shows creativity in resolving conflict situations. And for the productive resolution of any conflicts, self-sufficient subjects who respect each other, have a positive attitude towards each other and distinguish between the personality of the conflicting person and the problem of discussion are needed.
