CRFR Framework

CRFR is a BTB framework sequence for making a behavioural response observable before it becomes automatic: cognisation, recognition, feeling and response.

The purpose is to help participants separate the moment a signal appears from the reaction that usually follows it.

Behavioural escalation often moves quickly from internal signal to coping response. CRFR slows the sequence into observable stages.

Participants identify a signal, name the pattern, observe the internal feeling and then document the behavioural response that follows.

Case reports document participants observing avoidance before task engagement, including predicted failure, shame-linked withdrawal and predicted discomfort.

CRFR is part of BTB v1.0 and is being documented through pilot implementation and observational case reports.

• Can participants reliably identify each stage?
• Which stage is most predictive of avoidance?
• Can CRFR observations be standardised across participants?
