Have you ever known that you felt bad, but couldn't explain exactly what you were feeling? This difficulty identifying and describing emotions is known as alexithymia, and research has linked it to higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress.

In this episode, you'll learn why avoiding emotions keeps them vague and overwhelming, how self-criticism blocks emotional awareness, and a practical technique for uncovering what you're really feeling.

We'll explore:

  • Why emotions can be difficult to identif
  • How self-judgment blocks emotional awareness
  • A stream-of-consciousness technique for understanding emotions
  • Why naming emotions often reduces their intensity
  • How emotional awareness connects to emotion regulation
