  • The definition, causes and traits of Alexithymia

  • The Alexithymia-Interoception connection

  • The overlap of Autism and Alexithymia

  • Measuring Alexithymia

  • The physical and psychological impact on people throughout the various stages of life

  • How Alexithymia affects a child’s education and therapy
