internalising
Taking it in
Internalising is the British spelling of internalizing.
To internalise is to absorb something—beliefs, values, criticism—so deeply that it becomes part of your thinking: She had internalised her parents' expectations.
In psychology, internalising problems are those directed inward, like anxiety or depression, as opposed to externalising behaviours like aggression.
