Increase your self-esteem by understanding the defense mechanism intellectualization (1 minute read)<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Increase your self-esteem by understanding the defense mechanism intellectualization (1 minute read)<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Intellectualization<\/strong>\u00a0is when a person avoids uncomfortable emotions by focusing on facts and logic.<\/p>\n
A focus on thinking neutralizes anxiety, anger or insecurity which less likely lead to embarrassing moments compared to using more primitive defence mechanisms.<\/p>\n
Intellectualization is one of Freud’s original defense mechanisms. He believed that intellectualization allows for analyzing an event in a way that protects against anxiety by ignoring the emotional responses, which are considered irrelevant.<\/p>\n
Instead, the event is treated as an interesting problem with rational solutions.<\/p>\n
The problem is that the feelings might need to be acknowledged to be able to move on.<\/p>\n
An example is when instead of confronting the distress after a break-up one is conducting a detailed financial analysis of gains with living alone. Hence, there is no denial of the event taking place, but the emotional consequences are avoided.<\/p>\n
Or a person who has been told to have a serious disease asks for details regarding the probability of survival and possible success of various drug treatments.<\/p>\n
