Things to Remember in Helping Clients with Emotional Detachment

Value the importance of mourning.

Pay attention to secondary losses arising from trauma: lost sense of parental protection, loss of childhood, loss of innocence.

Notice when clients are avoiding mourning, as they use:

Minimization

Precipitous forgiveness

Invite the client to look at the emotional experience of the loss and its aftermath, focusing on feeling states such as:

Rejection

Sadness

Neediness

Disappointment
