Intellectualization.

I've been sitting on this video for almost a month, unwilling to share this part of me for two reasons:

One, it is terrifying to share the parts of me I hardly know myself, and two, sharing this feels significant, symbolic, set-in-stone as the transition from a coping mechanism that has been a literal life-saver. And while I explain this in the video, it is important to note here that it isn't a forever goodbye, the protective parts of us are trying to do exactly that, protect, and so while I am off to learn other coping mechanisms, ones that allow my wounds to heal and heart to open, I will still be able to call upon intellectualization when the times are right, and the need fits.
