''This article is about reframing, a Neuro-linguistic programming method. For reframing in cinematography, please see [[Reframing (film technique)]]

'''Reframing''' is also used in [[neuro-linguistic programming]] (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]]".

The techniqueThe technique of '''reframing''' in NLP involves confirming [[positive intention]](s) behind the [[behavior]](s) that one seeks to change (usually an undesirable trait of behavior).  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(s).'''Reframing''' is also used in [[neuro-linguistic programming]] (NLP) to describe changing the context or representation of a problem.

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 hapstance):

==Examples==
:''...when discussion is held about "tax relief," two historic understandings of taxation are lost: that taxes are the cost of admission to a civil society, and that those who want to evade taxes yet still use public assets like fire and police protection are freeloaders. Instead, taxes are cast [reframed] as something oppressive, from which we need relief.'' [http://www.buzzflash.com/hartmann/04/11/har04007.html]

The meaning of any behaviour or event exists only in relationship to the context in which it occurs. 

Every behaviour is appropriate in some context. With a context reframe a person takes the disliked behaviour and asks, <i>"Where could this behaviour be useful?"</i> or <i> "In what other context would this particular behaviour be of value?"</i>

A context reframe leaves the meaning of a behaviour the same and shows how it could be a useful response in a different context.

For example:

A: <i>"I procrastinate all the time; I just can't get things done."</i><br>
B: <i>"That's a great skill to have; especially when you apply it to overeating - just put off having that second helping. Lucky you."</i>
