Sometimes God doesn’t change your situation
because He’s trying to change your heart.
What can I learn from this experience? I confirmed with another person that the challenge isn't just me. I am very aware that I am ultra-sensitive to some behaviors. Non-verbal communication is more important to me that words. I get all this. How can I reframe this situation from one that is negative and turn it to a positive situation. I know it can be done. I have done it myself more than once. I am going to look at this from a number of different perspectives. I am going to use my words, try new ways of interacting, and choose healthy boundaries for me. During counseling one of the more interesting techniques is reframing a situation. It is turning things around and looking at it from different perspectives.
Cognitive reframing is a psychological technique that consists of identifying and then disputing irrational or maladaptive thoughts. Reframing is a way of viewing and experiencing events, ideas, concepts and emotions to find more positive alternatives. In the context of cognitive therapy, cognitive reframing is referred to as cognitive restructuring.
I am going to look at my situation as an opportunity to set healthy boundaries, make healthy choices for myself, and do the best I can to be a positive influence on a situation.
