Why? It’s a simple question, but it can open up a new way of thinking. Powerful questions such as “why” are an integral part of the reframing technique. A coach who can help clients reframe is a wonderful resource.
Reframing isn’t about changing our clients’ opinions; it’s about looking at situations in a new light. Questioning our beliefs is valuable. If clients can think of the “why” behind the “what” they can start to understand the situation from a new perspective. And in that new perspective – that reframing - clients can be led to an “aha” moment, where clients gain clarity and can enable themselves to move forward through issues.
