some frame manipulation concepts I find useful:
1) The Painful Update Button - where learning true information is framed as painful, and enduring the pain of facing truth is framed as strength and virtue, such that you start ignoring the warning pain of actual damage.

2) Finger-Trap Beliefs - beliefs that self-reinforce when you start doubting; e.g. "Satan puts doubts into the minds of those he's tempting." - now when you start to doubt satan's existence, this is framed as *proof* of his existence - we told you it was gonna happen!

3) One-Way Pressure - rerouting inquires to be 'actually about you'; if you ask a question that comes close to something vulnerable, what was *your motivation* for asking that? Any pressure you apply gets boomeranged straight back onto you. Inquiring *makes you vulnerable*

#1 thing I took away from learning about frame is that when someone asks you a question from a hostile frame you don't actually have to address it at all. Introduce a new frame where they are playing frame games "why are you asking me these questions, what's your angle here?"
