In this episode, Armand DiMele and neurologist Sherri Siegel explore the complexities of human emotions, focusing on alexithymia, a condition where individuals struggle to identify and express their feelings. They discuss how emotional numbness can develop due to trauma, cultural factors, and the impact of aging on emotional sensitivity. The conversation delves into the physiological aspects of emotions, the interplay between the brain and nervous system, and the challenges individuals face in communicating their feelings.
