Is it Alexithymia, or is it Dissociation Fueled by Trauma?

<p>Since&nbsp;<a href="https://devonprice.medium.com/memy-shockingly-easy-top-surgery-recovery-278bdb47c3b2" rel="noopener">undergoing top surgery</a>, I&rsquo;ve become far more attuned to my body. I find it easy and natural to pull my chest upward toward the sky, expanding my upper torso and relieving the pressure on my back. With one heavy sigh I can drop my shoulders toward the floor, releasing all of the stiffness a desk job puts on my neck. I can tell when I&rsquo;m tired, I can tell when I&rsquo;m hungry. I was not like this before.</p> <p>For years, feeling at ease was just something my body could not do, because I had so little access to it or awareness of its states. I couldn&rsquo;t understand how I felt or how those sensations were communicated to others by my body and face. My external form was a mystery to me, and a stiff, inert husk to everybody else.</p> <p><a href="https://devonprice.medium.com/is-it-alexithymia-or-is-it-dissociation-fueled-by-trauma-f13cf5ae6d29"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
