Psychological Frame of Reference

The psychological frame of reference is a way of understanding and interpreting a person's thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences by considering their individual mental and emotional state. It involves recognizing how a person perceives their world, which influences how they respond to situations. This perspective helps professionals tailor support or interventions by understanding the person's unique internal experiences, much like viewing a situation through their personal lens. It emphasizes the importance of subjective experience in shaping behavior and guides personalized approaches to support mental health and well-being.
