I saw a video describing the term, and it all clicked. Before that I described it as my thoughts being only ā€˜conceptualā€™. I always struggled with therapy cause I couldnā€™t translate my thoughts into words. Havenā€™t gone since I discovered the term, but since then Iā€™ve gotten a lot better at articulating my thoughts. Much moreso in text than verbally, though.
