I am currently seeing a therapist for the first time and tried to explain why 'visualization' doesn't work for me. He looked at me like I was crazy.
Aphantasic Client
Learning about aphantasia has left me feeling quite unsettled. The realization that I can't visualize like others has been a shock, and it's affecting my mental health. I need to talk to someone in the New York area who understands aphantasia and can help me navigate these feelings.

I recently discovered that I have aphantasia, and it's been really tough to process. I never realized how different my experience of life is compared to others, and it's causing me a lot of anxiety and stress. I'm feeling very isolated and would really appreciate some guidance on who I can talk to about this.
Aphantasic
My daughter, who is now 20, has never been able to visualize in her mind’s eye. Throughout her O and A levels, she relied on repetition-based learning. She builds a solid foundation but struggles with assimilating information quickly and recognizing unusual patterns in questions.
She has made it to vet school but is finding it difficult to keep up due to the volume of information. She is hesitant to admit her difficulties because she fears the university might doubt her capability. I have spoken to the university, and they are willing to support her, but they are not familiar with aphantasia.
Is there anywhere we can go to have this assessed?

I am a counselor working with a client who appears to have aphantasia. They have difficulty visualizing images, which is impacting our work together.
I am looking for resources that can help. Any recommendations or information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, is there a connection in The Netherlands or an organization who works with/for afantisie people ? I'm looking to speak with someone who knows a lot about this.
