why do you steer into the skid?

So there was this video of a woman managing to avoid a crash by steering in a special way. I’m learning to drive rn and people keep saying if you skid you steer into it, but isn’t that the opposite of what it feels like you would do?

The back is turning in one direction. So you steer the front in the same direction and those forces cancel eachother out allowing you to go straight and regain traction.
