A cognitive emotion regulation strategy that involves changing the interpretation of a situation to alter its emotional impact.
From Latin 'cognitio' (knowledge) + 're-' (again) + Old French 'aprecier' (to value). Rethinking how you evaluate a situation.
Cognitive reappraisal is reframing your story — 'I'm not failing, I'm learning' actually changes how your brain processes the emotion. Think differently, feel differently!
