High fit

Cognitive Restructuring is visible in how Travis Rose moved from the belief that he should be able to handle his son Raven's death the way he had always handled stress — as the capable nurse, business co-owner, and martial arts instructor — to accepting that this loss exceeded that identity's capacity. He stopped framing the need for antidepressants and professional help as failure and reframed it as an accurate response to an accurate assessment of his situation. He also replaced the goal of returning to the pre-loss version of himself with a more balanced position: some things are gone, some remain, and moving forward is possible without recovering everything.
