Testing for Alexithymia

Polaris302

Hi,

I'm very good at recognising the feelings of others, but I've always had difficulty identifying my own feelings.  I know when I'm feeling a strong emotion like anger, sadness or happiness, but most of the time I can't really tell what I'm feeling, or when I feel something and spend time trying to figure out what it is I'm experiencing.  I've seen blog posts mentioning Alexithymia, and I was wondering if there is a  test I could take online to confirm if I have it.

  • It was mentioned to me by a psychologist as I was having difficulty explaining hoti felt.

    On the Toronto scale I got 71, some of the questions are a bit subjective, I'm not confused about some feelings, I just don't have those feelings that I can describe.
