How do I feel emotion again?
I have a brain injury that causes many issues with my executive functioning. I am medicated and see various health professionals. For the last 6 months or so I have experienced a significant drop in my emotional response. I am now emotionally flat (flat affect). I experience no emotional response to any situation. A family member could tell me they had cancer and I would experience no physiological or emotional response. I can no longer show empathy or compassion at work as the "fake it till you make it" no longer works. I'm just looking for advice on where to start and what to try... not sure what to do. Life without emotions isn't really life at all.
