Rephrasing situations

My friend in Australia shared this on Facebook and I believe it is worth sharing here.  My counselor had me do this a lot and I mean a lot with my mind reset about my childhood.

The above link is shifting thinking about the pandemic situation gripping the World. 

Take what you are saying and rephrasing. 

My mother couldn't love me, I must be unlovable.

Rephrase:  My mother was filled with fear and unable to love her girls.  Her behavior was about her and does not define me. 

Some people call this putting a spin on events.  I call it changing my perspective to help me see how I can take a difficult situation and by changing how I look at it make it manageable.
