Reframing acknowledges in NLP that our subjective experience is influenced by our internal representations and the meanings we assign to them. We can modify these internal representations through reframing to promote more resourceful thinking, emotional states, and behaviors.

The main idea behind reframing is that the meaning we assign to an experience is constructed by our own interpretation rather than inherent in the experience itself.

We can challenge and reframe limiting beliefs, unhelpful patterns of thought, and negative emotions into more positive, empowering, and productive ones through reframing. Reframing can be accomplished in a variety of ways.

We can, for example, reframe a problem as a chance for growth or see a setback as a valuable learning experience. We can also reframe a behavior to reflect a positive intention, or reinterpret a situation by considering alternative viewpoints.

The goal of reframing in NLP is to broaden our perception of possibilities, increase thinking flexibility, and effect positive change in our lives. It enables us to break free from limiting patterns and forge new paths for personal and professional development.
