THE ALEXITHYMIA HANDBOOK

THE ALEXITHYMIA HANDBOOK

You are looking for a word that describes the emotions you are not having. You struggle a lot to show emotions or to recognize them, which makes it very difficult for you to have a relationship with your family or friends. You probably feel fear and sadness, but that is about all you have ever truly felt. Other feelings, such as joy, anger, or guilt, you are not able to feel at all, even though you know what they are. You most likely suffer from depression and anxiety and experienced childhood trauma. You take antidepressant and anxiety medicine and have seen several therapists. When you talk to therapists, you never tell the truth; you just tell them about all these fake emotions you have.

No matter how in touch with your emotions you are, you can't always express what you are experiencing in words. This is referred to as emotional blindness or alexithymia.

"The Alexithymia Handbook is an all-in-one resource for understanding and overcoming emotional blindness." This book, written by a top specialist in the field, provides a clear and comprehensive review of alexithymia and how it impacts an individual's emotional and social functioning.
