Coment of the original author:

I am a student at Dublin Business School and I am doing a Higher National Diploma in Psychology. For my research project/thesis I am investigating the link between the ability to voluntarily visualise and the impact on body image.

Studies in body image show that part of the problem can be how you view yourself and some of the treatments are visualisation based. So I am wondering if visualisers or us are more or less at risk. I am not hypothesising either way.

The survey contains the VVIQ (which we can help complete pretty quickly) and then some questions related to body image.

I need to get roughly 70 people in my aphantasia group so would really appreciate your time!

Aphantasia Q&A with Adam Zeman | Podcast (podcast.discoveringyourmind.com)

In this episode, we are very excited and fortunate to have a discussion with Adam Zeman. Adam tells us his story about how he was involved in coining the term "aphantasia" and how his research and articles got picked up by the media, resulting in the large interest in this phenomenon that we see today. He shares with us where he falls in all of this including all of his inner senses. We ask him about many things that we have been curious about as well as questions from a number of people from an aphantasia facebook group. These topics include, the VVIQ, early imagery research, aphantasia percentages, SDAM, pupil response, wakeful imagery vs dreaming, links to trauma, and unconscious imagery or "seeing without seeing". He also explains to us an interesting study surrounding "Blind Sight".

Hello,

I’m a 40y with full aphantasia, and I don’t have any issues falling asleep. I have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and use a CPAP, but I’ve never had any trouble falling asleep.

If ADHD is recognized as a disability it's also because it can significantly impact a person's quality of life, even if some individuals learn to manage their symptoms, if you had to manage your issue I understand it may not have been for free
