Help with wrist locks (beginner)

Had a training session today (my third 1 hour session) and we were doing some beginner chain wrestling, we were trying to do a lockup into a wrist lock sequence. With “ballerina spins” to take control. Can anyone word how to know whether or not to twist clockwise or counter clockwise? As It doesn’t feel like a natural position for my brain to go “ah okay if I twist this way I’ll be back to normal”

If this question is poorly worded I apologise and can try and go into more detail what I mean :)
