 autistic alexifamia can be a massive roadblock in the success of psychotherapy. Alexifamia is a difficulty identifying and categorizing your own emotions and a good portion of autistic people have this. In psychotherapy I can talk very very plainly openly and calm about events that would usually make other people feel very uncomfortable. It kind of sounds like a good thing but it leaves me very detached from my experiences and those emotions. You can't confront a negative experience when the emotions are lost in the alexifamic haze. The way I remember how I felt is by visualizing myself in the same scenario I look for common physical and psychological reactions to emotions I can't locate easily. The problem is I need to do this when I'm speaking to a therapist. It can make it fairly difficult. What other situations do you think may be impacted by alexifamia? Let me know down in the comments and I'll see you in the next one.
