In this episode of the Anti Optimist Therapist Podcast, host April discusses the concept of 'The Invisible Frame' how our thoughts, stories, and symbols shape who we become. She explains Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and how it demonstrates that experiences and meanings we attach to words and events drive our emotions and reactions. Through various examples, including Olympic athletes and a classroom experiment, April illustrates how these invisible frames influence our lives. The discussion encourages listeners to recognize that they don't experience life directly but through a mental framework, and understanding this is the first step toward gaining personal power and freedom.
