ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
Intellectualization is one of the most subtle and insidious forms of self-sabotage, showing up when clients and even practitioners use analysis and logic as a shield to avoid fully feeling and processing their emotions. In this masterclass, we’ll unpack what intellectualization is, why it blocks true transformation, and the hidden purpose it often serves. You’ll learn how to recognize it in yourself and others, what warning signs to watch for, and practical strategies to help clients move beyond “knowing” into genuine healing and lasting results.
