Aphentatia and borderline personality disorder
1 min readByErika Ennejjar
I was jus researching aphentatia and complex ptsd. I am diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and symptoms are very similar. My therapist and I are looking into a reevaluation. This would mean an entirely new way of therapy and I will be including EMDR, has anyone else dealt with this?

I haven't got much info on this yet but I have CPTSD and waiting for therapy to start. For what I read, traditional therapy was heavily reliant on visualisation methods for grounding etc which aren't exactly effective when you have Aphantasia, and neither is the lack of visual imagery which would usually serve as an "identification" of sorts, so deeper digging is required for people with Aphantasia as stuff is hidden and "overcomes" us while we're left scratching our heads, not knowing why. It could lead to us placing the blame on ourselves because we can't find the real underlying reasons. More recently there's been a "shift" to alternate methods that don't rely on visualising... I *think* that's what it may refer to.
