Alexithymia

What’s happening? The main question of alexithemia

Alexithymia – difficulty in transferring, verbal description of one’s condition. It can act as a personality characteristic, including the following features: difficulty in identifying and describing (verbalizing) one’s own emotions and the emotions of other people; difficulty in distinguishing between emotions and bodily sensations; decreased ability to symbolize, in particular to fantasy; focusing primarily on external events

Obtaining a flat image of my face on the scanner, more than ever, reflects the state of inexpressibility and the inability to explain the emotion. Just as it is impossible to see all the facial expressions in the image, so alexithymia does not allow expressing and describing emotions.

Alexithymia, as a feature of character, turns a person into a monotonous creature, the rejection of possible pain often entails the opposite side – the rejection of possible joy.
When unexpressed emotions accumulate inside, then at one moment overflows can occur and, as a result, bouts of hysteria and even aggression, so it is very important to learn to understand and express your emotions.
My project not only shows the peculiarity of this disease, but also gives me the opportunity to understand myself and answer the main question: What is happening?
