talking through
Working out verbally
Talking through has two main senses.
To talk someone through something is to guide them step by step: Let me talk you through the installation process.
To talk through a problem or decision is to discuss it thoroughly until it's resolved or understood: We spent hours talking through our options.
Talk it through before you decide.
