Tap into Your Emotions After Brain InjuryA Disconnect from Your Emotions
There’s a name for the way people struggle to connect with their emotions. It’s called “alexithymia” … which means “no words for emotions.”
Let’s watch as Dr. Dawn Neumann of JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute explains:
People with alexithymia can show it in different ways. Some say they feel no emotion. Some are outwardly very emotional but don’t recognize it. Some find their emotions overwhelming and are often angry.
Here Dr. Neumann talks about what that might look like. See if it sounds familiar to you.
