I find something "interesting" to me to work on or get curious about "what if I do X" and try it, make it a little bit of a game if I can so it's like an experiment. Get "outside" yourself a bit and look at what you're thinking/feeling as if you were reading about you or someone was telling you about a case like yours and see if anything you'd say or suggest might help if you try it.

I love to read and had a HUGE amount of success reading "young adult" books, especially by writers such as Nina Kiriki Hoffman and Madeleine L'Engle.
