Ep. 114: Can't Identify Your Feelings? You Might Have Alexithymia—The Unspeaking Heart

If you’ve ever felt unsure what you want, relied on logic where feeling should guide you, or wondered why emotions seem elusive, this post is for you.

Drawing on research, clinical insight, and everyday examples, this piece examines how emotions become blocked, the quiet costs of living without emotional clarity, and how the heart can relearn to speak through awareness, therapy, and practice.
