Reframing problem statements into positive statements is helpful because client problems are intimately linked with

• A. Feelings
• B. Goals
• C. Past experiences
• D. Values

Answer: (B)

Framing problems in positive, goal-focused terms highlights what the client wants to achieve. When statements are oriented toward outcomes, the problem becomes a gap to close between the current state and a desired future, making the client’s goals explicit and actionable. This shift supports goal setting and motivated change, because the next steps are clearly tied to reaching those goals rather than merely fixing symptoms. Feelings, past experiences, and values all influence the process, but the strongest link created by positive reframing is the pathway to concrete goals and the actions needed to achieve them.
