Taking into account the specific features of legal practice, the article identifies psychological difficulties of professional significance faced by lawyers, explores the reasons these challenges may significantly affect both the quality of work and personal life, and provides recommendations for effective solutions. The high level of responsibility and emotional pressure inherent in the legal profession often leads to mental and physical strain, which in turn causes stress. Therefore, the development of psychological
competence skills by lawyers is of critical importance. The article recommends a number of approaches aimed at enhancing psychological competence and
resilience to stress, including improving psychological knowledge, applying effective neuro-techniques, practicing relaxation and breathing exercises, managing time and workload efficiently, increasing physical activity, strengthening support systems, and maintaining a balance between work and personal life. This comprehensive
