Desensitization. Basically expose them to more and more sound/light/conversation/etc.
I think similar methods are used to non-violently torture prisoners.
Once a witch was accused, the methods to go about their trial and questioning were often quite unfair. Few people were found innocent of their accusations, and most went through horrific torture. If they plead innocent, they were most often tortured until they confessed and described their exploits with the Devil and the many crimes they had committed whenin fact they had done none. By the end of the questioning many accused actually believed what they were saying in the insanity brought on by torture
