Alexithymia

Alexithymia

I came across this word studying Autism traits. It is defined like this:

Attached Image QUOTE (Wikipedia)


Difficulty identifying feelings and distinguishing between feelings and the bodily sensations of emotional arousal

Difficulty describing feelings to other people

Constricted imaginal processes, as evidenced by a scarcity of fantasies

A stimulus-bound, externally oriented cognitive style.


Interestingly, it is considered a personality trait and not a mental disorder.

Alexithymia

The nose reveals our relationship with our emotions. An alexithymic individual has difficulty, to a greater or lesser degree, in relating to emotions. New research seeks to shed light on new aspects of the condition using olfactory tests. The results demonstrate that one of the characteristics of alexithymia is the altered physiological response to olfactory stimuli. The tests also showed that there are differences in reactions between subjects characterized by affective alexithymia and those with cognitive alexithymia, which compromises the ability to identify, express and distinguish emotions.
