Giving a friend advice

A girl I have therapy with (Who I would consider a friend) expressed today that she lost her motivation and ability to enjoy things. Basically running on automatic pilot.

I gave her the advice to push past the hurdle of apathy and start small, slowly expand when ready.

I was wondering what you guys do when you feel that way or what advice you would give her.

Maybe suggest that she join an online events community (e.g. MeetUp or Eventbrite) and then look for events going on in town that match her interests ... and then just sign up and go to the events 👍🙂

@Madaraismyspiritanimal I would ask if maybe she needs a break or change. It doesn't have to be anything "big" but something as simple as taking a walk in nature or trying a new restaurant or going to see a movie on a whim, etc.

Good luck! And thanks for being a good friend!
