What Is a Paradoxical Intervention?
A paradoxical intervention is when you instruct a person to do exactly the opposite of what you ultimately think is going to happen. For example, if you feel compelled to yell at your wife or putting her shoes in the wrong place,you feel compelled to do that. With the idea that you're then kind of you're scrambling the system and other things kind of get evoked in them, you break them out of certain patterns. And in a way you allow for the opposite to emerge.
