Anosognosia
I was reading an article that @Ed1937 posted about anosognosia (https://www.agingcare.com/articles/anosognosia-dementia-patients-cant-recognize-impairment-210090.htm) that mentioned the LEAP method. Wanting to know more, I ended up going down a rabbit hole and found this article: https://www.helpguide.org/articles/family-caregiving/how-to-help-someone-with-mental-illness-accept-treatment.htm
It's written in the context of trying to help someone with mental illness, but I found it useful in understanding how to better connect with someone who doesn't and cannot see that they have an illness. It links out to more content about empathy and conflict resolution. Wanted to share incase it could be useful to others.
