tn conditions of social instability and uncertainty, the importance of creativity as an internal resource for adaptation and stability of a psychologist increases. This article is devoted to the study of creativity as an ability that ensures successful self-regulation in an ever-changing professional environment. The theoretical foundations of the relationship between creativity, voluntary self-regulation and psychological adaptability are considered. The results of an empirical study using psychodiagnostic techniques are presented.

The results obtained can be applied in the training, support and support of specialists in helping professions working in conditions of high dynamism and social uncertainty. The article considers creativity as a significant personal resource that helps a specialist adapt to changes in the professional environment. It is shown that high creativity can serve as the basis for arbitrary self-regulation, resistance to external pressure and the ability to act in a situation of uncertainty. The theoretical review substantiates the relationship between adaptive behavior, regulatory mechanisms of personality and creative abilities. Empirical research has confirmed the existence of a positive relationship between the level of creativity and the severity of self-regulation among practicing psychologists.
