reframer
Changes the frame
A reframer is someone who recasts a situation, problem, or idea in a new light.
The term appears most often in contexts involving persuasion, therapy, or negotiation—where shifting perspective can change how people respond: A good reframer can turn a setback into a learning opportunity.
The word emphasizes the active, deliberate nature of changing how something is understood.
