Internal vs External Processing

This Instagram reel highlighted a difference I haven’t been able to put into words before: Internal vs External Processing.

I know I process things by talking them out. I used to joke that I have an “external dialogue” rather than an internal monologue. But not everyone works that way.

Like the commenter said: this is one of those Differences that should be brought up in couples therapy and premarital counseling. Figuring this kind of thing out first can make solving the other problems exponentially easier.
