Cherophobia in Relationships

What if the person you love is unable to name what they feel—even for you?

Emotions are the language of connection, yet for those with alexithymia, that language remains elusive. In Alexithymia in Relationships, we explore what happens when emotional expression is absent, when love is felt but not spoken, and when partners find themselves caught in a silent disconnect.

Blending psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual insight, this book dismantles the myths surrounding emotional expression and reveals the hidden ways alexithymia shapes intimacy, conflict, and connection. If you've ever felt unheard, misunderstood, or emotionally distant from someone you love, this book will change the way you see communication, affection, and the very fabric of relationships.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why some people struggle to identify and articulate emotions—and what that means for love
• The surprising strengths of an alexithymic mind and how to bridge the emotional gap
• How partners can navigate misinterpretation, frustration, and unmet emotional needs
• Practical strategies to cultivate connection beyond words

This is not a book about fixing anyone. It’s about understanding, adapting, and embracing new ways to love—beyond expectation, beyond frustration, and beyond words.
