“The narrative I am telling myself about this is...”
I learned this phrase from a very close friend a few years ago, and I’ve found it helpful to nudge me away from explanation freeze and to remind me that how I view a circumstance is just one view, which not necessarily accurate reflect reality. I’ve found it particularly helpful for interpersonal situations, in which I think another person has made a mistake, or misbehaved, or which otherwise isn’t the way that I want it to be.
