It covers examples like appeal to authority, such as assuming the illness is gross based on a creator’s opinion, and the slippery slope fallacy or catastrophizing, such as believing rejection, never getting married, or dying alone with many cats. The reframe is to rely on scientific research and to treat herpes as a part of life rather than the end of it. The exercise suggests writing faulty beliefs and the reframes together over time to build a mindset centered on healthier thoughts.
