Context Reframe

A reframing technique that gives a new and more empowering meaning to a behavior or experience by placing it in a different context where it would be more appropriate or useful. The practitioner asks: 'In what context would this behavior be a resource?' For example, stubbornness reframed as tenacity in the context of achieving a long-term goal. Context reframes work by shifting the situation rather than the meaning, revealing the inherent value of a behavior.
