I find myself in mental confusion a lot. Do you have any suggestions for alleviating mental confusion?

There are many different manifestations that are termed “mental confusion.” I think you may be referring to the type of mental confusion that is characterized by “mind loops.” Mind loops are characterized by “Catch 22” logic sequences, labyrinthine reasoning that contains dead ends, and knots of thoughts which fold back on themselves without producing the hoped for clarity.
 
This type of mental confusion is usually found in people who are viewed as having a high level of intellectual intelligence. In fact, I have found that people who have this type of issue work with their minds for a profession. They can generate logic sequences that make them valuable contributors at work – but that same capacity will often send them into mental traps when they try to apply such logic sequences to experience that is not Cartesian or linear in nature.
 
Many people who have a highly developed intellectual capacity have developed mental processes at the expense of developing other types of knowing. Often, they have taken refuge in their mind capacity because the world beyond linear or Cartesian explication is too confusing or scary. The worlds of emotion, intention, and motivation cannot generally be grasped when only intellectual intelligence is applied to them. Unfortunately, people with strong intellectual capacity can make things like emotions more confusing for themselves by trying to apply their usual logic sequences to the emotion in an effort to understand it.
 
Sometimes, people with strong mental capacity will actually use that capacity to avoid emotions or other things that trouble them. When this happens, mental confusion invariably sets in. This is because emotions cannot be intellectually parsed and laid out in a sequence. The effort to do this creates the loops, knots, and dead ends referred to above.
 
The best remedy for this kind of confusion, then, is for the person who is experiencing mental confusion to “drop out” of the mental realm and try to understand what all the mental activity is in response to. This is where meditation and systems like Depth Hypnosis can be of assistance. Both offer pathways out of the mental realms and into other ways of knowing.
 
For many people who are skilled in mental processing, the suggestion that they approach life from another angle can be very challenging. When presented with this suggestion, they will often generate highly elegant mental defenses to keep themselves from being able to exit the sphere of the mind. Depth Hypnosis is particular useful in these cases because it has many methods for piercing resistance while gently assisting the client past the resistance so the client can perceive what is at the root of the mental confusion.
 
In point of fact, this root cannot be perceived by chasing the loops and knots. It is almost always a mistake to try and follow the loops and knots in hopes of arriving at resolution.  One known, but under-used intelligence all people have access to is the intelligence of the heart. To resolve mental confusion, I recommend becoming a student of the heart.
 
Becoming a student of the heart may sound easy – and ideally, it should be easy. But many people have a lot of abandoned experience in their hearts. Part of the process of learning to listen with the heart is to learn to listen to this experience. It can be a bumpy ride, but it is one well worth taking. Even though it might be difficult, it is more easeful than living in the prison of mental confusion.
 
Let yourself learn to listen with the heart. All phenomena have their own logic sequences. If you stop trying to impose the logic sequences you generate on experience and let experience unfold, it will reveal its own logic sequences to you. This may feel like you are losing control of the world around you, if you are used to controlling your experience by generating your own mind sequences. But ultimately, you will find you are far more at ease in the world when you realize you can use the intelligence of your heart to uncover the causative root of most phenomena.  Mental confusion cannot exist in such an environment.
