The 5-step reframe process

1
πŸ“

What happened?

Describe the situation that triggered the negative feeling. Just the facts β€” what, when, where.

2
πŸ’­

What's the automatic thought?

The first thought that popped into your head. Usually harsh, absolute, and feels 100% true in the moment.

3
πŸ˜”

How does it make you feel?

Name the emotions and rate the intensity. Naming feelings is the first step to changing them.

4
πŸͺ€

Which thinking traps apply?

Identify cognitive distortions β€” fortune telling, all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, labeling, and more.

5
🌱

What's a more balanced thought?
