Basically just plain ol' psychology. Reverse reverse psychology only exists when the other person assumes that you are doing reverse psychology on them (when you are not).
Sgt McDonut: "I wouldn't press the button that says 'eject' if I were you."
Pvt Cummings: "I know you're just reverse psychology'ing me, so I won't."
Sgt McDonut: "And that's exactly what I wanted you to do. The button was to eject me out of the plane, not you. Thankfully I factored in the possibility that you would think I'm doing reverse psychology. And even if I was unaware of your mental gymnastics, your reverse psychology guess would've screwed you anyway because the eject button for your seat was in my hands all this time. Get reverse reverse psychology 'd son."

When you make the move that your opponent thinks you wouldn't do because they thought you would make the move they expected you to do because they think you were avoiding using the move that they wouldn't expect you to do.

Unlike normal pyschology-that you act/say/speak in a manner that encourages the person you are addresing to know what you are thinking and wanting (of them/to do etc),
and unlike reverse psychology, where you might consider/toy with a person in ways to make them see it your way, but in an indirect way-that still lends things to work out, but way more complicated, and possibility for
stress /failure is likely.
**REVERSE-REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY: is an addictive form of over-thinking how to communicate what you need to say...VERY indirectly--but you think you are SO intelligent for understanding and mastering this ability and skill.
It tends to fail, everyone involved is exhausted and basically, you have the same chances of failure in communicating--but at least- its alot more costly, stressful, unneccessary--but at least you FEEL involved...

(*you want your gf to buy you a hamburger on her way home from work*)
REVERSE-REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY genius that you are, approaches her with your want, in this manner--
--Simple approach= "Hey hon, grab me a burger at ___, please...Thanks sweetie."
R-R Pysch approach= "You know babe, I HURT myself on that laundry you left in the hallway again,
while I was trying to talk to the vet about YOUR cat's ear problem. I wish your boss would treat you
BETTER because she doesn't understand HOW HARD it is on our relationship, and the cat, and I GUESS
I'll have RAMEN again for dinner, if I can limp later to the kitchen... *whimper*"
(indirect, long-winded, over-thought, annoying as fuck, JUST AS LIKELY to fail, dramatic and exhaustive)

E.g. 1 (Spoken in an Aubrey Plaza monotone) *rolls eyes* "Oh yeah, I totally wanna have sex with you right now."
E.g. 2 "She was using post-ironic reverse reverse psychology again."
