Identification of more helpful cognition
1a: Reframing
Reframing is a procedure used to “provide the client with alternative cognitions concerning the nature of the habit-change process” (Marlatt & George, 1984). This should reduce the stress levels obtained due specific beliefs ( Vernooij-Dassen, Draskovic, McCleery, & Downs, 2011). When those beliefs and thoughts are replaced or slightly changed, a reduction of stress may happen. Cognitive reframing is also considered a coping mechanism (Cookston, Olide, Adams, Fabricius & Parke, 2012), happening when people talk about their conflicts to others and coming up with the consequences of their thoughts and coming up with ideas on how to change those cognitions (Cookston, Olide, Parke, Fabricius, Saenz & Braver, 2014). Basically when the therapist and client are reframing, they are getting a negative thought and they try to rephrase it to a more positive sentence. When the client starts using that sentence it will cause less stress than the way they thought before (Marlatt & George, 1984).

Meaning that children need to know the difference between something that actually happened, and just a thought about something happening. Therefore indicating that using this procedure would be difficult with young children. This procedure seems more something for adolescents as they often can think quickly and think of counter thoughts more easily compared to children. Additionally when it works for adolescents it will most likely also work for adults as their thinking goes just as quick or sometimes quicker than adolescents. Even though this is the case, it can still be very difficult to do the brain game for adolescents and adults, it also depends on their cognitions and understandings between their ‘pessimistic thoughts and real life
