NLP Technique used to help create a different way of looking at a situation, person, or relationship by changing its meaning.


I use it to shift a client's view of a particular problem, event, or person. When clients are able to view a situation from another perspective, opportunities for finding alternative, acceptable solutions to their problems increase.
The reframing technique helps look at situations from a slightly different perspective. When I watched the Olympics games in London in 2012, I realised all the journalists were always asking the same question to athletes: "Are you stressed?" Athletes would always answer the same thing: "I feel super excited.” What is incredible is that the symptoms for stress and excitement are the same: sweaty hands, short breath, accelerated heart rate. The athletes reframed these symptoms positively. I personally use this technique for myself or clients almost every day. If you are scared talking in public, you could reframe it as an "exciting challenge to help you grow."
