They say that aphantasics can’t achieve a state of hypnosis because we can’t visualize. Invariably, the hypnotherapist begins with an instruction that involves visual imagery.

I’m curious if there are any aphants who have had successful hypnotherapy.

Hello all,

I have had so many false starts with guided meditation because they invariably start with “close your eyes and visualize”. As an aphantasic, I can’t do that so I would get frustrated and quit.

Anybody with a similar experience?
