Quick Blip #10
This blip highlights how Relational Frame Theory (RFT) shows that language shapes experience rather than merely describing it.
Through relational framing, clients turn events (“I felt anxious”) into identities (“I am an anxious person”), which changes how thoughts and feelings function.
ACT doesn’t try to dismantle these frames, but instead helps clients notice them as language—stories rather than literal truths—creating space for choice and flexibility.
The key takeaway: the problem is often not the feeling itself, but the story wrapped around it.
