rescripting
Changing the story
Rescripting is rewriting or revising a script, whether literally for film, theater, or television, or figuratively for psychological patterns.
In therapy, rescripting refers to techniques where patients mentally revise traumatic memories or negative self-narratives: Imagery rescripting helped her process the childhood trauma.
More broadly, it means changing an established narrative or expected sequence of events: The team is rescripting how onboarding works.
