Understanding Autism: Emotion Blindness: Alexithymia

The Understanding Autism Series aims to provide an understanding of various aspects of autism that are often misconstrued and stigmatized as a result. Understanding Autism is for everyone, especially Allistic (non-autistic) and Neurotypical folks who want to better understand and support the autistic individuals in their life. This series focuses on promoting inclusivity by encouraging education, depathologizing the signs and symptoms, and promoting a Neurodivergent affirming perspective.

💜About Jennifer💜

I'm Jennifer Whitacre, trauma specialist, empowerment strategist and shadow guide, and I help people strengthen their internal relationships through a process of SELF discovery. I guide and support my clients through the transformative process of developing SELF presence so they can shift from rigidity, reactiveness, and chaos into more flexibility, responsiveness, and connectedness.

People who are able to make this internal shift find they have more agency, decisions aren't as difficult, they have more emotional stamina to deal with life's ups and downs; and they have much higher levels of empathy and understanding for themselves and others.

The process is similar and unique for each client. Healing the invisible wounds inflicted from past trauma requires that we become familiar with non-verbal communication. That’s because the subconscious mind communicates non-verbally and unconsciously, the opposite kind of communication valued by the conscious mind. By understanding our own subconscious minds, the two minds become coherent and our lives naturally become more integrated.
