It is a technique used in hypnotherapy to help someone enter a hypnotic state by making them feel a little confused or overwhelmed. The therapist does this by giving the person unexpected or conflicting instructions that are hard to follow. When the mind becomes confused and can’t keep up, it stops overthinking, which allows the person to relax and become more open to suggestions. Once the person is in this relaxed, open state, the therapist can guide them more easily into a deeper trance to work on issues like anxiety, habits, or emotional problems. The key is to use confusion gently and safely so the person stays comfortable and relaxed.
