I have plenty of interesting papers on the topic of alexithymia, but I cannot share links because they are from journals without open access. Is it possible for the forum to enable the options of attachments, so I can upload them?

I'm new to all of this, but I have found some interesting studies and articles on the matter, though some are rather long. Not all are necessarily "scientific papers" but seem appropriate to put here.
