This is a great question but it is my opinion that there is not one type of therapy for this case. One of the questions I would ask is what is causing the confusion and what are the symptoms? Most the time my clients tell me it is “racing thoughts,” and things like lack of sleep. The overall answer I can think of to start with would be grounding yourself. If you are unable to ground yourself you will forever feel like you are floating in la la land.
Grounding skills are skills that calm us and bring us into mindfulness; bring us into the current moment. When thinking of grounding skills go to your five senses. Taste, smell, hearing, feeling, and seeing. Even if it is just eating an orange; can you smell the citrus, see the color, taste the sweet and sour, feel the bumpy skin and juices flowing over your hands, and hear the peel being removed from the meat of the orange. How often do we do this? Enjoy every moment. Look at the sky, look at your childs face, feel your feet in the grass, hear a favorite song.
Grounding skills are important to focus and allow ourselves to be in our body more than our mind. When we are stuck in our mind too much it tends to race and feel overwhelmed. When I say go into your body I mean feel sensations, feel emotions, notice what your reactions are to the environment around you. Try to shift your focus from your mind to your body.
Of course there are therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy that can switch your thoughts; EMDR for trauma thoughts and rearranging them; DBT for emotional regulation of thoughts and actions. You can research some of those. But the simple answer would be grounding skills. Practice them each day and start to see the difference.
