The article is devoted to the analysis of communicative aspects of the psychologist’s interaction with combatants. It is noted that in the scientific literature, the concept of “rehabilitation” is traditionally used, meaning the return of a person to the pre-traumatic level without taking into account the acquired experience, post-traumatic growth, and resilience. The expediency of applying the concept of resilient reintegration, common in English-speaking countries, is substantiated. The paradoxes of communication and their expression in the language of combatants are analyzed, and the possibilities of using metaphorical cards to facilitate communicative interaction with combatants and verbalization of psychotraumatic situations are characterized
