Understanding Psychological Reversal in Thought Field Therapy (TFT)

Have you ever felt like, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to break free from negative patterns? Whether it’s struggling with anxiety, procrastination, or self-sabotage, it might not just be a lack of willpower—it could be a case of psychological reversal. In Thought Field Therapy (TFT), a unique form of energy psychology, psychological reversal is a key concept that explains why some people have difficulty overcoming emotional or behavioral challenges despite their best efforts. Let’s explore what psychological reversal is, why it happens, and how TFT can help correct it.

What Is Psychological Reversal?
Psychological reversal occurs when a person’s energy system is "switched" or blocked, making it difficult to heal emotional distress or change negative behaviors. Instead of moving toward healing and progress, the subconscious mind is unknowingly working against itself, keeping the person stuck. Dr. Roger Callahan, the founder of Thought Field Therapy, discovered that some clients did not respond to treatment until their psychological reversal was addressed. Once corrected, they were able to experience rapid emotional relief. Think of it like this: Imagine trying to charge your phone with the battery inserted the wrong way. No matter how many times you plug it in, it won’t work. Your energy system works the same way—if it’s reversed, healing techniques may not be effective.

Signs of Psychological Reversal
Psychological reversal can manifest in different ways, including:
✔️ Self-Sabotage: You set goals but consistently procrastinate or make choices that go against them.
✔️ Lack of Progress in Therapy: Traditional methods (talk therapy, affirmations, etc.) don’t seem to work for you.
✔️ Feeling Stuck: No matter what you try, you keep repeating the same negative emotional cycles.
✔️ Chronic Stress & Anxiety: Emotional healing techniques don’t bring lasting relief.

What Causes Psychological Reversal?
Several factors can contribute to psychological reversal, including:
🛑 Deep-Seated Negative Beliefs – If you subconsciously believe you don’t deserve to heal or succeed, your mind will resist progress.
🛑 Toxic Emotional Patterns – Long-term stress, trauma, or unresolved emotions can disrupt your energy flow.
🛑 Physical Factors – Poor diet, dehydration, and lack of sleep can all contribute to energy imbalances.
🛑 Environmental Influences – Negative social environments or constant exposure to stress can reinforce psychological reversal.

How Thought Field Therapy (TFT) Corrects Psychological Reversal
Correcting a psychological reversal is fortunately quick and easy to do. While there are a few variations that work, here is a video of me showing a method for doing so:
