Reframe in Three

Reasons / Purpose
                            Change your relationship to thoughts via structured reappraisal.

                            Do
                            1) Write the thought.
                            2) List facts for/against.
                            3) Draft a balanced alternative.
                            4) Act on the new thought.

                            How & Why It Works
                            CBT reduces symptoms across conditions; reappraisal decreases distress.

                            Results / Goals
                            Notice reduced intensity of negative thoughts; quicker recovery after setbacks.
