What is "Psychological Reversal" and How Can You Correct It?
by Kay Christopher, MA, EFTCert-II, Certified EFT Practitioner

The energy system in your body is made of subtle electric circuits. If these circuits are subjected to electrical interference the balancing and healing effect of the EFT tapping procedure (and many other healing modalities) can be blocked. This interfering blockage, called Psychological Reversal (PR), takes the form of a “polarity reversal” within your energy system.

To explain, imagine that you have a battery operated lantern, such as a Coleman lantern used for camping. If you take the batteries out and reverse them, then reinstall them and try to turn the light on you won’t have much luck. The light can’t come on because the required electrical connection is not in place. This is just an analogy, but our bodies are much the same. When our electrical system has an interfering blockage (PR), we can’t “turn on the lights” with EFT.

PR is estimated to affect about 40% of the population. It is typically present where there is self-defeating behavior and chronic negative thinking, and is especially common in the case of addictions, chronic illness and depression. However, a person can be Psychologically Reversed and have no absolutely clue that they are. Since the statistical likelihood of PR being present is fairly high, the correction for PR is used routinely prior to the EFT tapping sequence just to make sure the electric circuits are “lined up”. The correction is easy to do and takes only seconds to perform.

While correcting PR is important for all of my clients, it is particularly rewarding to see the immediate benefits for those who have negative habit patterns they just can’t seem to break, such as smoking, over eating, or procrastinating. They may have been trying to change their attitudes and actions for weeks, months, or even years without success and they blame themselves for their failures. However, once we correct PR and get them tapping a whole new world opens up for them. They report feeling lighter and having more energy. The “lack of motivation and will power” and “self-sabotage” they have been living with no longer have power over them, and they start to make progress where once there was only failure. It’s very exciting to watch this happen. And clients learn to apply EFT themselves so that they can use on it whatever comes up in their lives.

Correcting PR and tapping not only also helps with mood and health (such as anxiety, depression, anger, fear, headache, allergies, addictions, pain, anxiety, phobias, etc.). It also helps to improve performance in sports, at school, at work, in creative endeavors (such as writing, painting, playing musical instruments) and in public speaking.

HOW TO CORRECT PR

When you do the first part of the EFT procedure, the "Setup", ("Even though I have _________________ [state the problem] I love and accept myself") you are doing the correction for psychological reversal. That is all that is required. You are then ready to do the tapping sequence. For example, you could do the Setup as, "Even though I have this headache I love and accept myself." You would say this three times while either rubbing the sore spot or tapping the karate chop point. That is the correction for psychological reversal. Then, you would procede to tap on the points while you say "headache", and that would complete the procedure.

However, it can also be beneficial to do the whole EFT procedure on the "problem" of psychological reversal. After recommending this to clients the feedback I have heard from them is that this is very helpful in improving their mood and overall outlook on life. I particularly recommend it upon waking in the morning. It's a great way to start the day!

Here is an example of how to do EFT with psychological reversal as the "problem". (For instructions on how to do EFT go to the "How To Do EFT" page.)

While rubbing the sore spot or tapping the karate chop:
"Even though I think I might be psychologically reversed I deeply love and accept myself."
"Even though I might be psychologically reversed I profoundly accept myself anyway."
"Even though I might be psychologically reversed I deeply and completely love and accept myself."

Then go through the tapping sequence (short cut is sufficient) like this:

EB: "I might be psychologically reversed."
SE: "Maybe I'm psychologically reversed."
UE: "I could be psychologically reversed."
UN: "Chances are I'm psychologically reversed."
Ch: "I might be psychologically reversed."
CB: "Maybe I'm psychologically reversed."
UA: "It's possible I'm psychologically reversed."
TH: "I might be psychologically reversed."

You may not feel any noticable change, however some people feel lighter and aware of an improved mood. Even if you do not feel anything specific it's better not to be psychologically reversed, so the procedure is valuable. And chances are you'll feel better and think more clearly, whether the shift is subtle or dramatic.
