interiorized
Absorbed into oneself
Interiorized means made internal or inward—taken from the external world and absorbed into one's inner life.
The term appears in psychology and philosophy to describe how external experiences, values, or conflicts become part of one's mental landscape: She had interiorized her parents' expectations so completely that she couldn't distinguish them from her own desires.
Also spelled interiorised in British English.
