Alexithymia, although often unnoticed, significantly affects how individuals identify and express emotions, impacting their relationships and self-awareness.
The term alexithymia, from Greek roots meaning 'no words for emotions,' highlights the emotional challenges faced by about 10% of the general population.
Alexithymia is not uniform; it varies in severity and expression among individuals, particularly affecting those on the autism spectrum who may experience it more acutely.
Inability to identify feelings can lead to emotional suppression, making it difficult for individuals to regulate their emotions effectively and address underlying issues.
