Um, so intellectualization involves, um, retreating into abstract thinking, analysis, theorizing to avoid the experience of the emotional weight of a situation.

So the person thinks about feelings rather than feeling them.

Think of that as like a, a left brain fortress against emotional right brain experiences.

Nancy states that intellectualization is like the, a higher order version of what we just talked about, so the intellectual-- the isolation of affect.

So the, the difference being person using isolation of affect typically report, like, kind of just reports no feelings, while the intellectualizer talks about feelings in a way that just kind of strikes us as emotionless, like, kind of like reading a weather report.

Jason Kent, let's talk about displacement.
