Context Reframing


There are sub headings of reframing in NLP, Context Reframing and Content Reframing that can be helpful.

Context reframing can be used when someone is making generalised comparisons, where the action, thought or behaviour is inappropriate or wrong. Perhaps that wrong belief could be used in another context.

A person may say “I talk too much.” This can be reframed by changing the context where talking too much would be good or an advantage, and a reply could be, “You could be a good after-diner speaker.”

By changing the context, it will change the meaning, and could become a resource.


Context reframing can take an undesirable or undesired attribute and finds a different situation where it would be valuable, leaving the meaning of the thought or behaviour the same.
