If you're solo working w/ Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS; e.g. w/ the Self-Therapy Jay Earley book) or Feeding Your Demons (see appendices in the back of both books), & they've come to feel laborious or heavyweight, you can do them NONVERBALLY & SELF-TELEPATHICALLY, too.

this was actually my default, but i found i get to stronger more complete emotional releases when i say stuff out loud. its Always a mix of the two tho, for me

it's been the opposite for me lol, was doing almost exclusively verbal and tapped out on that a bit and seems like i need to go to nonverbal land for more juice

interestinggg ime verbal can be good b/c... of the 'realness' factor(?) but can sometimes... gum stuff up/be too loud/cover stuff up and non verbal is better for touching into subtle stuff, listening for answers, working with scared/distant part this is hard to verbalize

and

yeah that's a good way to put it. verbal feels too loud and not subtle enough rn. might be getting into earlier childhood stuff or just stuff i don't have words ready-at-hand for idk
