Today, we explore alexithymia: the quiet condition that leaves people emotionally mute, and often leaves their partners emotionally starving. We’ll unpack how patriarchal norms contribute to emotional suppression in men, how that silence takes shape in narcissistic abuse, and why survivors deserve clarity, validation, and relief.Whether it showed up as cold silence, emotional invisibility, or decades of feeling unloved — you’re not imagining it. You were asked to carry the emotional weight of two people, and that has consequences.We contrast alexithymia with emotional unavailability, dig into narcissistic patterns, and hold space for the women who’ve spent years translating feelings that were never expressed.This isn’t just education. It’s liberation.What You’ll Gain From This Episode:<ul><li>A clear understanding of what alexithymia is — and how it differs from emotional unavailability</li><li>Insight into how emotional suppression contributes to narcissistic dynamics and long-term relational harm</li><li>Validation for survivors who’ve spent years feeling unseen, unheard, or emotionally deprived</li><li>Empowering language to articulate what they experienced and why it wasn’t their fault</li><li>Nuanced, trauma-informed distinctions that help prevent future relational patterns</li><li>Practical reflection questions that foster emotional clarity and personal growth</li><li>A compassionate yet unflinching look at how patriarchal conditioning silences emotion — and how reclaiming it is an act of healing</li></ul><h3>Our Gumroad Store: https://waketheelephant.gumroad.com/</h3><h3>🔗 Explore More:</h3>🌐 Visit the <a href="https://movingforwardafterabuse.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a>:Explore free resources, articles, survivor tools, and deep-dive content to help you reclaim your power and heal from narcissistic abuse.📚 Read the <a href="https://movingforwardafterabuse.com/books-by-lynn/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Books by Lynn</a>:Check out Lynn’s powerful books on narcissistic abuse recovery, manipulation tactics, and the emotional journey of healing.
