We avoid what we fear but if we purposely bring about what we fear then its paradoxical or at least it could be. An example of this is stammering. A person who stammers fears talking to new people or to an audience. That person spends all his/her time worrying about it which of course makes the stammer worse. Logical attempts to stop the stammer could be speech therapy but if speech therapy fails to give a result, what then? paradoxical thinking may be about finding an odd alternative and acting on that alternative, no matter how bizarre. If they can do that, they may just find a paradoxical solution.
