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

theres a dance non verbal has access to more information, it feels like, more fractal paths, more subtle emotions and whatnot comes with pros and cons verbal is good for getting stuff out, making it real, reassuring, asking oh and non verbal is better for answers maybe?

But I've found that for some of the things I discover, words always break down – some people would say that I'm just not good enough at words, and they might be right. Additionally I've found that I don't notice some things very well when I'm already in the "gotta describe" mode
