Helping patients who are more “emotionally detached” to take value based actions

When working with more “emotionally detached” personalities, it can be important to raise awareness around the detachment from “positive feelings/emotions” as well.

It can lead to more disconnection, and low motivation towards doing things that matter to them.

Part of counseling is to raise “emotive feelings” through values identification and to take action based on those.  This is because values are usually “emotive” in nature.  

From taking value based actions, it may change the “internal feeling experiences” for these folks.
