Hard to see how all that confusion could be healing, isn't it? But it might be an attempt by the system to start healing, however badly done that might seem to be.

That would not preclude making more informed attempts by intelligent helpers to improve the healing process. However, those helpers should, I think, understand more about why a person might need to deny reality (for instance believing that something is watching them) rather than using that process of denial to invalidate them.
