In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on reframing.  Reframing is a strategy that people can use, either on their own or in therapy, to help adjust their mindset. It often involves focusing on more positive thoughts, but it can also be centered on changing excessively high expectations to be more realistic.

In this episode we discuss: 

1) Reframing is a powerful skill to have as it can give us immediate changes in our feelings about a situation, and make us feel more clear, resourceful, empowered, and optimistic about our circumstances.The steps to reframing include: identifying the pattern of behaviour, the words that need to be changed, establishing communication and ownership with the message, separating behaviours such as naming it or seeing it as a part of you that is trying to keep you safe; taking responsibility and creating a bridge to the future and what you want to create instead of where you currently are. 2) Positive reframing can help you to: reduce stress, build your resiliency muscle, improve relationships, see and act on new opportunities, be more thoughtful, open-minded and kind, find greater happiness in life. 

 

3) Common reframes as an example when it comes to writing a book: Feeling overwhelm, my story isn't big enough; and what will people think, I will share some of the common reframes in relation to this.
