36. External vs. Internal Processors

How do you process your emotions? Are you more of an external or internal processor? The way we process emotions is a big part of our lives whether we know it or not, and when you’re trying to process your emotions with someone who processes in an opposite way, sometimes relationships get difficult. Learn how to understand these differences and how to help others in processing their emotions, when you may have a completely different style!

In this episode, Lindy talks about:

The differences between external and internal processing
Some of the misperceptions that happen when you’re processing with someone who processes differently
How to work with someone who processes differently to avoid contention
How to use the acronym L.O.V.E. to improve your relationships

Key Takeaways:

External Processors need others to help get out of negative emotions and how to move forward and getting out of the “pit”
Internal Processors need others to help them feel okay while they sit in the “pit with their emotions.
When an External and Internal Processor get together, often they misperceive the other person as being selfish and only caring about themselves, though their intention is usually opposite
It’s always important to help others feel loved first before trying to show an opposite perspective
