Swap the picture

Swap the picture offers one bounded practice step without promising a particular feeling or outcome.

Use when: avoidance, low confidence

How the practice works

1. Read the frame This comes from practitioner tradition rather than clinical trials. People often find it useful. That isn't the same as evidence that it works. Rehearse behaviour, not a guaranteed external outcome.
2. Name the situation Name one specific present situation without unnecessary identifying details.
3. Record what you notice What is one honest observation or next behaviour you choose?
