Helping our patients see the “good” from the “bad”

Have you seen folks who are unable to see anything good about themselves?

When they tell us about the “bad”, we can help them to see the “good”?

For example:

Stubborn. Then they are very determined. 

Jealous or envy. Then competitiveness really drives them.
Impulsive. Then they can be very spontaneous.
Emotional. Then they can be empathetic and caring.
Anger. Then they can be very passionate about things.

I am sure there are many more that we can think of.
