How does one stop intellectualizing trauma?

This is my answer to a question in quora...

I hope you are well.
My first thought is how do you define Intellectualization? In psychology this process is noted as a defense mechanism a reaction to deep emotional trauma.
From my experience, investigations and consideration this is natural… and in normal circumstances helps to improve our understanding of ourselves and how we interact with our life.
What are you trying to achieve?
If you are suffering from emotional trauma I ask you seek urgent medical advice asap.
All the very best. :)
