When you intellectualize and internalize at the same time, you will become anxious.
Ever caught yourself rationalizing your emotions instead of feeling them? In this eye-opening episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes', host Chris Gazdik and his panel tackle the concept of intellectualization. This is a coping mechanism where people handle stress by overthinking and analyzing their emotions rather than experiencing them. It's a common but tricky habit that can escalate into a defensive mechanism if left unchecked. The discussion delves into how intellectualization can strain relationships by creating emotional barriers and misunderstandings.
Gazdik and his team offer practical tips to break this cycle, including mindfulness techniques and boosting emotional awareness. Perfect for anyone looking to understand their emotional responses better, this episode provides valuable insights into recognizing and addressing intellectualization in everyday life.
