2. Predicates I don’t understand I’m in the dark That’s all Greek to me It sounds crazy I can’t make head nor tail of it I don’t know It’s not clear yet I can’t tell if that’s right I don’t have a handle on this I understand I see what you mean I get the picture That rings a bell That feels right I catch your drift I think My view is… Something tells me… I hold these views… I’m confused This is a mess It’s too obscure There’s no rhyme or reason to this I need to get a grip of this None of this fits

Frames cover many important aspects of successful use of NLP.

REFRAMING

Activity: Reframe-athon Come to a decision with your group about what you think reframing means. Once you’ve made this decision come up with a short list of example reframes.
