Can Stoic "Positive Reframing" Go Too Far? w/ Donald Robertson
Reframing a bad event into something useful is one of the classic Stoic moves. But I have always wondered where the line is. Can you reframe too much? Is there a point where turning everything into a silver lining becomes its own kind of denial?
I put the question to Donald Robertson, and his answer is more careful than I expected. We get into when reframing helps, when it tips into self-deception, and how to tell the difference.
