Your aphantasia gets in the way of mindfulness, grounding and visualization. People have varying abilities to imagine, yet many therapeutic activities involve imagining a wonderful safe place or a beautiful beach. Some people just do not imagine much, if at all. They have other ways of thinking and imagining. They should also have other ways to engage in therapeutic activities!
For those who can visualize, there is a range from seeing movie-level moving color pictures all the way to vague black and white shadows and outlines. Some people do not visualize or imagine with other senses at all. You should be able to access therapeutic tools tailored for you.
Some people have an inner visually rich narrative, involving multiple imaginal senses. Maybe you don’t see yourself, imagine an inner child, or a relaxing scene. Other people have a very verbal, cognitive, mental voice, an inner narrator. There are many ways to think and imagine. We can focus on your strengths.
Do you have strengths in imagining in other ways, with your other senses? Perhaps you remember rather than imagine, smells, touch, movement, or just feelings. Together we can look for the ways that you connect to yourself, the senses you gravitate toward, and the ways that you imagine or process things, to build tools that help you feel more grounded and mindful.
Let’s discover how your brain works best, and help you understand yourself better. Lets find the right tools for you to solve your challenges in life. Lets help you contextualize past experiences with this newfound knowledge of what it means to lack mental imagery in a world that expects that ability.
