Give an example of reframing that might be used to cope with a romantic breakup.

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Reframing is a creative more positive way to perceive adverse events. It emphasizes what can be learned from experience – both good and bad. While acknowledging the negative emotions that may accompany events, reframing allows the individual to see those events in a constructive manner. Romantic breakups can be negative, but the reframing tries to emphasize what can be learned for the future.
