Embrace failures as learning experiences and take ownership of them. Recognize physical sensations signaling a negative spiral and reframe the story to move forward positively. Q5: How do you introduce gratitude to someone in pain? A5: Start every session with a gratitude question. If they can't think of anything, let it be.
