How Reverse Therapy Works: Reversing the Symptom Loop
Understanding the Symptom Loop
If you are living with constant unexplained pain, fatigue or brain fog your body is trying to tell you something. So long as the messages it is sending you go unrecognised the deeper it gets stuck in a symptom loop. Rather like your home alarm system permanently stuck in the ‘on’ position.
Reverse Therapy is a simple, step-by-step educational coaching model that teaches you how to identify, understand and answer the physical alarm signals your body is sending you.
What are these messages conveyed by the alarm signals? We have identified four:
Unresolved emotions related to work and relationships
Anxiety states
Recurring stressful situations
Loss of reward in daily activity
Some clients may have only one trigger. However, the majority will have 2-4.
Retraining Your Body’s Alarm System
Reverse Therapy is a practical form of brain retraining. We help you pinpoint exactly when and why your body is triggering these alarm signals. By learning how to deliver the responses your body is asking for, you tap into neuroplasticity - giving your brain the green light that it is finally safe to stand down, switch off the alarm, and let your natural energy return.
What We Do in a Session
There are four main elements.
Identifying the Triggers. We look at the exact moments when symptoms appear or elevate and investigate what was happening to you in that moment.
Translating the Signal: We identify which of the above four messages were relevant to you at the time.
Going deeper: We identify the environmental stressors, emotional blocks, boundary issues, anxious thoughts, frustrating obstacles and missing rewards that accompany the triggers for the alarm.
Taking Practical Action: You will receive simple, real-world tools to change how you handle those situations. This practical action tells your brain the message has been heard, allowing the physical symptoms to safely fade away.
