verbalizing

Saying it out

Verbalizing is putting thoughts or feelings into words.

The term often implies making explicit what might otherwise remain internal or unexpressed: She had trouble verbalizing her frustrations.

In educational and therapeutic contexts, verbalizing is encouraged as a way to process and communicate: The therapist asked him to try verbalizing his emotions instead of acting on them.
