It’s not about what happens to you, but how you frame it. Is this true? This week Lou and I speak about cognitive reframing - what is means, whether it actually works and how it's different from 'just thinking positive thoughts.'
Well does reframing work? The answer which is so often the way with psychology (and perhaps shouldn't be surprising given how complex we are) is complicated. It can be incredibly helpful but differs from positive thinking. While we all know we can't just think differently at the drop of hat, we often led to believe that we can. In fact, this can be hugely damaging to your mental health. We discuss why, and how you can use cognitive reframing in a way that can work for you.
