REFRAMING

Reframing is a fancy word for reinterpreting events or taking a different perspective or viewpoint on them.
Reframing can be an excellent coping strategy. For example, finding the useful in the difficult will help you accept the difficult.
Reframing can also be used to delude or lie to yourself; for example, my mother verbally abuses me to push me to succeed.
