Intellectualizing is the only way I know how to feel. It’s synonymous with feeling. I literally don’t understand what anyone is talking about when they talk about “feeling in their body.”

I just hired an IFS therapist.
Your videos have been very helpful and helped get me here.

not only that, but my main problem is what action follows that? like okay I felt my feelings I know where they are I know where they're stored I can feel where it's coming from what can I do with those? now, I'm a professional dancer so I already know how to express those are how I can express my feelings creatively but impactfully especially if it's pertaining to the way somebody else has acted towards me what do I do with that because the energy's got to go somewhere and if you don't have a way to release that in some capacity you're kind of left with nothing it's kind of going back to square one at that point.

Can you explain in simple terms what that process would actually look like?

I just decided to quit (group) schema therapy. It was recommended by my therapist to help with my cptss. I unfortunately experience a lot of issues with feeling the feelings and intellectualizing, which to me is the essence of this type of therapy. It seems like it's worsening everything instead of helping me. I'm really aware of my feelings and intellectualizing EVERYTHING.
Do you have experience with this scenario?

Your videos describe me perfectly, so how do I find someone local who understands that? I’m frustrated with trying to find actual solutions. The therapist I was seeing didn’t see to dig this deep.

Sai :
So, when something happens that triggers those automatic responses that I know don’t help me (anymore), and I explain out loud that I’m experiencing those feelings/emotions but I know they are based on previous data and not the current situation, am I making progress?

Thank you for this video. I’ve never quite understood in clear terms what it means to intellectualise and this explains it so well. Any suggestions on the kinds of therapy that may be helpful?

My inner self is just an endless series of shelves with boxes. I LOVE to shuffle and rearrange but you can't make me look inside or empty those boxes. Nope, no thank you, no way.

Every time I think about my feelings, I remember the first experience that made me feel that way. Then I acknowledge that I'm not having that exact experience again and that I am safe now. It's just how I process things. 🤷🏻♀️

Giada :
That is what happened to me.
So many times I was feeling good, connected, joyful and a moment later something happened that ruined that peace. Now, when things are doing well, my mind creates thoughts and emotions that mess up the moment
