This is a related topic but I found it’s true for me. When I’m alone (so obviously this is not talk therapy) I can find that I can think about my emotions… Or I can speak my emotions out loud. Speaking out loud is much more effective in getting them understood and labeledthen just thinking about it. Doesn’t seem like it should be, right? But based on personal experience it’s a huge difference. I think it’s for some of the reasons mentioned in this thread.
