What is a psychological reversal and how can you fix it? by selfhelppod

Psychological reversal exists when a person’s subconscious beliefs, fears, or needs prevent the improvement that he/she requires or aims for.

In simple words, the dumb mistakes or the silly moves that we so commonly refer to, indicate the existence of psychological reversal.

For instance, telling a mean person one’s weakness or saying something nasty to someone that makes you think “Why did I say that to her?”

Generally, people have some sort of subconscious beliefs that keep them from achieving what they aim to achieve.

For example, many times weight loss programs and diets don’t work because of the psychological reversal. They tend to eat more because they subconsciously feel that their weight acts as a protection for them.

Psychological reversal affects your judgment, behavior, attitudes, and perceptions.

The nervous system and the brain have reference points and organizational patterns, which are essentially orientation mapping points.

When there exists psychological reversal, there is disorganization at the neurological level; consequently, the orientation and reference points are all scrambled; creating energy blockages along the neural pathways.

In terms of EFT therapy, psychological reversal indicates a polarity in one’s energy field, which does not let tapping remove the energy blockages in meridians.

How do you get to know if you psychologically reversed?

When you have a psychological reversal, you may experience the following symptoms;

Constant negativity

Procrastination

Self-sabotaging behavior

Reversing words or actions, for example turning left when you know you should be turning right, putting the dinner in the fridge and the milk in the oven, when you want to put milk in the fridge and dinner in the oven.

Dyslexia or other problems while processing information

Generally feeling in a muddle and not understanding things

Failure to heal physically.

Psychological reversal shows self-sabotaging subconscious programming because the person’s energies have oriented to depression and sadness instead of joy and contentment.

Therefore, instead of feeling happy about being successful or on getting praised, a psychologically reversed person finds it uncomfortable thinking that the success was by fluke and not deserving at all, or the person praising either does not know the standards or has an ulterior motive.

In other words, for a psychologically reversed person, it is very easy to feel anxious or uncomfortable when things are going very well in his/her life.

Therefore, to overcome the discomfort, he/she commits a self-defeating action, which puts him or her away from achieving his goal.

And the cycle of trying hard to overcome the obstacles begins again only to end up committing the wrong action.

Being psychologically reversed is frustrating because the person, at times, a person knowingly does self-defeating things; for example, procrastinating and missing on the deadline; comfort eating despite being overweight, etc.

I have experienced psychological reversal for more than half of my life. In my experience and based on the guidance I have received from my mentors, I have come to the conclusion that

psychologically reversed people have low self-esteem which is manifested in self-sabotaging behaviors.

A simple example can help understand the impact of a psychological reversal on your life and your goals-achievement capability; if you put the batteries in the wrong polarity; no matter how hard you try; you CANNOT make the batteries work.

Likewise, in the presence of psychological reversal, no matter how hard you try, you end up feeling disappointed and full of resentment.

It is vital to mention here that I have found EFT tapping meditation as quite a successful tool in instantly changing my negative thoughts/emotions.

However, in the presence of psychological reversal, no matter how many times the EFT Tapping Meditation is done, no improvement can be brought about. In other words, you will not feel a decline in the negative feeling after at least two rounds of EFT Tapping.

Now there are ways of finding out if you have psychological reversal; the energy testing arm method, that I have mentioned in my previous post.

However, instead of arm-testing for psychological reversal, I choose to tap on the karate chop point while saying my set-up phrase.

If there would be a psychological reversal, it will be fixed, if there wasn’t to begin with, tapping on the karate chop point does no harm.

If after one round of EFT therapy, the intensity of the emotions does not go down, there can be one of the four things happening;

You are not fully in the emotional field or thought field about the problem

Please keep in mind that in EFT Tapping you are tapping to remove the energy blockages which are caused by emotional baggage; excessive carrying of emotions; or emotions that eat on the positive energy in the body.

Therefore, it is imperative for you to be in that energy field or thought field before you start tapping.

Another reason for EFT therapy not pulling the intensity down after two to three rounds is being in psychological reversal.

What are the most effective ways of removing psychological reversal?

It can be fixed in one of the four ways; sometimes when I feel severe energy blockages; I do all the four ways of removing psychological reversal.

Tap 20 times on the karate chop point (see SI point in the picture).

Psychological reversal is most commonly associated with the small intestine alarm point, which is why tapping on the Karate chop point is recommended. However, it is critical that while tapping on the karate chop point, one has to keep the focus on the problem or the reversed state.

2. Tap on the Sore Spot (SS) which is found by running your fingers along the underside of your left collarbone; reach the center of the collarbone and move your fingers three inches down.

You will feel a sore spot. It can also be found as the center point between your shoulders and chest on the left side of the body. See the picture. Rub the SS in a circular motion towards the chest or anticlockwise

3. Tap on the under the nose point 22 times (See the UN in the picture)

If you find locating these points difficult, check my previous post where I have explained how to find the exact location of the Karate Chop and Under the Nose points.

4. Do collarbone breathing; if you do not know what is collarbone breathing please read my post about collarbone breathing here. But keep in mind that collarbone breathing is a longer process, so it is advisable to use it when the intensity of the emotion is not decreasing after doing all the three steps mentioned above.

After taking these steps; take 3 deep breaths and start another round of the EFT tapping!

Needless to say, these methods work really well for overcoming psychological reversal during EFT meditation sessions.

However, to create changes in the neural pathways, it is imperative for you to overcome self-doubt, identify self-sabotaging behavior, and enhance your self-esteem.

Since this topic is very close to my heart and I can identify with somebody who suffers from low self-esteem, I have done enough research on the topic; attended several workshops to learn the ways that can help enhance my self-esteem.

Therefore, I have planned a detailed post on the ways that actually help you enhance your self-esteem. It will have questionnaires to find your level of self-esteem and relevant exercises for bringing about improvement. So please come visit us again.

Until then, please tell me in the comments right now if you think you are psychologically reversed and what are the self-sabotaging behaviors that you most commonly repeat.
