The term '''Reframing''' is a technique in [[Neuro-linguistic programming]] (NLP) where an undesirable behavi, designates a communication technique, which has origins in [[family systems therapy]], and the work or trait is conferred a [[Positive and negative (NLP)#Positive intent|positive intention]]. Alternatives to satisfy the positive intent are found, followed by negotiations with (parts of) self to resolve conflict, check for ecology and to implement the new behavior. '''Reframing''' can also be used in NLP to describe changing the context or representation of a problem. More precisely, one of the most effective techniques for achieving almost any desired change in NLP is the "six step re-frame".

In psychotherapy, after irrational beliefs have been identified the therapist will often work with the client by challenging negative thoughts on the basis of evidence, reframing experiences in a more realistic or positive light. This can help clients to develop more rational beliefs and healthy coping strategies.

Reframing occurs in life regardless of NLP, and is a common means by which meanings get created and lost in various situations, either deliberately or by happenstance.

A bestselling author, motivational speaker, and practitioner of NLP wrote, "A signal has meaning only in the frame or context in which we perceive it."  <ref>Anthony Robbins, ''Unlimited Power'' (New York: Ballantine, 1987) 291.</ref>  For example, if a person is resting in bed and hears his bedroom door open, that exact same noise will have two totally different meanings to him and evoke drastically different reactions depending on whether (1) he is alone in a locked house, or (2) he had previously invited his friend over and left the back door to his house unlocked.  According to the authorf [[Virginia Satir]]. [[Milton H. Erickson]] has been associated with reframing and it also forms an important part of [[Neuro-linguistic programming]]. In addition, the [[provocative therapy]] uses reframing with an emphasis on humor. 

Another meaning or another sense is assigned by reframing a situation or context, thus sees a situation in another frame. A frame can refer to a belief, what limits our view of the world. If we let this limiting belief go, new conceptions and interpretation possibilities can develop.

Psychotherapists trained in in the reframing by communication attempt to let scenes appear in another point of view (frame) so that someone feels relieved or is able to deal with the situation better.

An example of this is the reframing of the role as a passive victim (“the craze overcomes me”) into an active role, from which different decisions than so far can be made (“can you now see the situations out, in which you decide your course of action?”). Other examples are the reinterpretation one than negatively noticed behavior (“my mother constantly interferes into my life.”) in a positive (“your mother would like to thus protect you”), or a sensitization going by that “a well meant” behavior releases negative effects with the target object.

Anthony Robbins wrote, "A signal has meaning only in the frame or context in which we perceive it."  <ref>Anthony Robbins, ''Unlimited Power'' (New York: Ballantine, 1987) 291.</ref>  For example, if a person is resting in bed and hears his bedroom door open, that exact same noise will have two totally different meanings to him and evoke drastically different reactions depending on whether (1) he is alone in a locked house, or (2) he had previously invited his friend over and left the back door to his house unlocked.  According to the Anthony Robbins, 

<blockquote>
[I]f we perceive something as a liability, that's the message we deliver to our brain.  Then the brain produces states that make it a reality. If we change our frame of reference by looking at the same situation from a different point of view, we can change the way we respond in life.  We can change our representation or perception about anything and in a moment change our states and behaviors.  This is what reframing is all about. <ref>Robbins 291.</ref>

For example, say a university or college student breaks his leg during summer vacation.  He is crestfallen, because he can no longer play tennis and golf with his family and friends.  A few days later, he realizes that he now has the quiet, alone time to learn how to play the guitar, something he had always wanted to do but had been too busy to attempt.  He then discovers he has a great aptitude for music and becomes a decent guitar player by summer's end.  One year later, he changes his major to music(contracted; show full)*Ellerton, Roger PhD CMC; ''Live Your Dreams...
