I think alexithymia is more about inability identify the emotion, not inability to express. You could be expressing a lot of intense emotions but then she would ask you what it is and you would not be able to name it.

I think you're right. This was the case with me. I had to do silly exercises to learn how to identify each emotion. I remember feeling so confused in one of my first few sessions, I actually asked: "what is a feeling?" Good times
