What is the goal of reframing and relabeling in therapy?

  1. Confusing the client

  2. Stating the problem in a different way so a client can see possible solutions

  3. Making the problem seem smaller

  4. Avoiding dealing with the problem

The correct answer is: Stating the problem in a different way so a client can see possible solutions

Reframing and relabeling in therapy refers to the technique of presenting an issue or problem in a different and more helpful perspective. This allows the client to see their situation in a new light and potentially come up with new solutions. It is not about confusing the client or avoiding dealing with the problem. Additionally, the goal is not to make the problem seem smaller, but rather to reframe it in a way that empowers the client to tackle it in a more constructive manner.
