Pro Tip
Frame — Perspective & Reframing Engine
1: More Frames, Not the Right One
Frame doesn't tell you which perspective is correct — it gives you several genuinely different ways to see the same situation. The value isn't picking the "true" one, it's noticing what each frame reveals that the others don't.
2: The Frame You're Stuck In Is Usually Invisible
If you keep seeing a situation the same way no matter how many times you think it through, that's often a sign you're inside one frame without realizing it. Ask for a different lens specifically when the obvious explanation stops feeling satisfying.
