Ahhh. CBT.
I hate it.
While I can see the value of reframing issues sometimes, I can't see the value of reframing them always. Sometimes issues shouldn't be reframed. A lot of injustice happens when people reframe things that shouldn't be reframed.
And sometimes, when there is no choice, and you might as well accept something or leave, there is *still* more than one way to reframe something. I don't think reframing it in such a way as to violate your core values is a viable option.
And choosing to be hurt seems to me like the old sticks and stones retort. It sounds nice. It makes the CBT'ers tails' wag. But I think it sounds nicer than it sounds true.
