What else is also true?

The skill of reframing  ·  name: ______________  ·  date: ________

When something goes wrong, the first story about it can feel like the only truth. Reframing keeps the facts and the difficult feeling. It asks whether another part of the situation is also true, and whether that wider view makes another response possible.

What we are practising

By the end of this lesson, you can find a second honest frame for a difficult situation and explain how it changes the possible next steps.

During the activity

The frame swap: notes, noticings, or nothing at all. This sheet is yours.

Take it with you
