reFrame
Challenging unhelpful beliefs with evidence-based methods
What we tell ourselves influences every aspect of our well-being.[1] Cognitive reframing is one of the most powerful skills[2] that can help us regulate our emotions by changing negative thought patterns. reFrame is a tool for learning this skill. Just write a short story about an event that still keeps bothering you. reFrame helps you identify unhelpful beliefs, rate their impact, and practice generating kinder, testable alternatives. To do so, we use techniques anchored in and tested by positive psychology.
