What is intellectualizing as a coping mechanism?

206 views

I’m just getting started studying counselling psychology, and this is a term I’ve heard about but am still struggling to understand. I’d love to hear a professional’s thoughts on what exactly intellectualization is, with some examples? Thanks very much!

Is this sometimes reduced down to ‘mental gymnastics’ and/or neuroticism? I know that it isn’t actually those things, but my question is do people often mistake or confuse them?
