There are many powerful NLP techniques, NLP tools and NLP language patterns taught in NLP courses.
One of the most powerful language patterns categories in Neuro Linguistic Programming is reframing.
On this page you will find details of the NLP reframing patterns of - context reframing, meaning reframing and one word reframe.
NLP reframing enables you to perceive the same situation in a different light, thereby enabling you think, feel and act in a situation in a much more empowered way.
Reframing in Neuro Linguistic Programming is one of the fastest way to change our perspective of a situation.

When engaging with individuals, NLP reframing can be quite effective since it alters their way of feeling, thinking, and acting.
Hence, it has the power to unlock doors, generate fresh opportunities, and encourage actions that are closer to one's highest inner potential.
Importantly, NLP reframing will help us take control of the story we are telling ourselves and give it a more empowering and positive spin, whether we are using it with others or to help ourselves develop better thought patterns.
There are different forms of NLP reframing.
The most common types of NLP reframing in language patterns that are taught in NLP courses are - one word reframe, context reframing and meaning reframing.
Below are further details of these 3 NLP reframes:
1. One word reframes: It involves replacing a not so positive or limiting word in a statement that offers a more positive or empowering perspective. It is especially powerful at the identity level.
For example, "He is an alcoholic"
This can be reframed into "There are times he has gone overboard in his drinking alcohol"
This way we have shifted from a label which has been put on a person at an identity level to a specific situation when he has done the behaviour.
Hence, it decreases the intensity of the negative connotation that the word carries. Thereby making it easier to release the thoughts and emotions regarding the behaviour (if that is what we intended to do).
2. Meaning reframing: In this, the meaning of a situation or behaviour is changed.
Hence, it changes how an individual chooses to respond to the situation.
For example, “I did not achieve my goals which means I'am a loser"
This can be changed to, “I did not achieve my goals which means that it is an opportunity for me to enhance my skills and abilities to achieve my goals.”
3. Context reframes: It refers to looking at a situation from a different point of view while highlighting where a particular behaviour could be seen as useful and positive.
For example, “I am slow and I overthink everything.”
This can be changed to, “I take my time and think about things and hence make informed decisions about my career choice and Iam someone who pays attention to detail in my work. Thereby avoiding making hasty decisions that leads to regrets.”
Hence, this type of reframing enables a person to think that his behaviour and habit are useful in life. Therefore not to see that behaviour as a limitiation only. At the same time to recognise only where the behaviour isnt useful so the behaviours are to be only addressed in those situations.
In my transformative NLP courses, we learn about these types of reframing.
