To be able to verbalize how you feel, you have to think about it. Verbalization makes you bring the emotions to the surface and the relief at having said something that's lain buried a long time is immense. Writing does that too though I think hearing the words has more impact. I agree Kyle. To be able to verbalize how you feel, you have to think about it.

For me writing helps too but saying it out loud really addresses the problem for me and I have an easier time of working things out.

Anyone have more knowledge they could share about this? i’ve heard that people with an injury to the prefrontal cortex are unable to empathize and sometimes display really cruel and sadistic behavior.. don’t know if this is true…but i could see a connection here.
