Internal hearing: the deliberate practice of giving each internal drive a turn to express its concerns, fears, and desires in decision-making contexts, requiring uninterrupted testimony and a stance of genuine inquiry rather than ritualistic performance

It's a key term in the curriculum that requires precise definition for proper application.
