Reverse Speech Examples

Reversal analysis is a powerful tool to give you truth and clarify of gut feelings or intuition. It shows you the behavior patterns and emotions that may require attention. Analysis interpretation is always a joint effort between the Analyst and the Analysand.

These examples are all presented in a standard format. First a small section is played forwards, and then the reversal is played at three speeds.

Example 1

This first reversal occurred in a session involving the discussion of a reversal transcript of a taped interview. The woman is referring to one of the reversals I had explained to her earlier and is expressing how the reversal had deepened her understanding on the issue at hand ("showing the way").

• (forward) . crystallized it a bit more and particularly when you said it, you know, when you actually said it it struck me into a deeper level ...

Symptoms of Depression

This woman had been working in a very demanding job for a long time, which she intended to leave. Due to her thoughts that she couldn't do anything else or didn't have any other skills she continued to stay in the job and developed symptoms of depression. After some session work she realised that there were other skills she had and gained confidence, which resulted into her leaving the old job and going for one that gave her more freedom and flexibility for other life's enjoyments.

• (forward)...(client) oh wow I can do all these other things (I) so you gained some confidence (client) huge amounts.

Stress and Grief

This woman experienced a high level of emotional stress for a long time, which related back to her fathers death when she was a girl.

Following are three reversals from her process.

This woman had been in a very unhappy relationship for quite a long time and was seeking advice and clarity from her reversals. The following three reversals describe exactly what was happening for her in this relationship on a deeper level. Receiving the information from her unconscious mind and bringing them into her awareness gave her the courage to end the relationship. This resulted into a much more fulfilling and contented life for her.

• 1. .. (forward)I feel helpless and I can't really say anything I can't really give the truth of what I am feeling ...
