帮你勇做“弄潮儿” ■孙金亿 解放军报特约通讯员 卢明凯 茅文宽 绘 海训期间,我们发现一些初次参加海训的战友有恐海心理,进行海上游泳训练前心跳很快,甚至站在岸边迈不开腿。这些反应常被误认为“胆小”,其实这大多是对陌生环境或危险环境的本能紧张。 如何缓解恐海心理,把“我害怕”变成“我能行”? 安全自查。恐惧心理大多来源于失控感,即“我不知道会发生什么”。有的战友面对大海时,脑海中会出现“浪会不会把我卷走”“踩不到底怎么办”“呛水了谁来拉我”等念头,想得越多,越不敢动。此时,要及时进行事实核查,就是把“我不知道”变成“我知道”,把“我肯定不行”换成“我试试这个动作”。当出现恐海心理时,可以在岸上花1分钟,把下面几个问题在心里过一遍:系在腰上的救生圈是否充足气、身边负责保障的救生员有几个、安全警戒线设在哪里……对不确定性的恐惧被这些明确的安全保障条件代替,就会慢慢冷静下来。 阶梯暴露。一些战友只在游泳池里进行过游泳训练,身体没有经历过海水浸泡、水流冲击,下海后可能会紧张,甚至导致游泳动作变形。我们可以把“适应大海”拆解为若干级阶梯,慢慢体验身体与海水接触时的感觉。比如,先在齐腰深的浅水区,捧起海水反复接触脸颊和前胸,让皮肤熟悉海水的温度、盐度和水花撞击的触感。这是在告诉大脑:这个环境我接触过了,不陌生。然后,缓缓将面部浸入水中,心中默数3秒即抬头,反复几次后逐步延长到5秒、8秒、10秒……这一步的关键不在于憋气多久,而在于适应海水的味道与压力。接着,在水下尝试做几个完整的游泳动作,利于评估海水浮力。最后,跟随大队伍进行编组长游训练。每登上一级阶梯,在心里对自己说一句“我能做到”,给大脑正向反馈。注意每次只挑战“略感不适但能扛住”的难度。 呼吸掌控。下水前,有的战友呼吸急促、心率飙升,这可能是过度应激状态。此时,可以尝试“4-7-8呼吸法”:鼻子缓缓吸气,心里默数4秒;屏住呼吸,默数7秒;均匀缓慢地呼气,默数8秒,循环5次。这一方法可有效让心率放缓,将过度应激状态回调至可控水平。 需要注意的是,这些方法仅适用于一般性紧张和轻度恐水。如果反复尝试后,一入水仍出现窒息感、全身僵直、无法自控地剧烈挣扎,可能已经超出了紧张的范畴,应果断报告,及时寻求专业人员的帮助。

Summary

Machine summary

A PLA Daily psychological-support column addresses 恐海心理 (fear of the sea) among first-time maritime trainees, offering three techniques — safety self-check, graduated exposure (阶梯暴露), and the 4-7-8 breathing method — to manage anxiety before and during ocean swimming drills. This is standard military psychological-skills content; its value is as a baseline record of how the PLA frames mental-health support to junior personnel in maritime training contexts, normalizing self-reporting of acute stress reactions rather than stigmatizing them as cowardice. It documents a training-culture posture but provides no evidence of a changed readiness level or unit-specific maritime capability.
