His mission is to empower others to regain control over their lives and build the resilience needed to meet future challenges. Episode Overview: In this episode, we delve into the mysteries of sensory perception and internal imagery. We question whether the mind continues to generate internal sensory experiences—even in aphantasia, where “imageless imagery” might still emerge (Chang et al., 2025). Our conversation examines how autism, with its sensory overload, may amplify external inputs to such an extent that inner experiences are overshadowed, prompting a discussion on whether practices like sensory deprivation, meditation, and brainwave stimulation (via binaural beats, isochronic tones, and SSVEP) can restore balance. We further explore the spectrum from aphantasia to hyperphantasia, considering possible correlations with heightened hypnotic responsiveness, and delve into techniques in memory work, hypnosis, psychedelics, lucid dreaming, and even polyphasic sleep cycles. Does aphantasia truly impact therapeutic change if our minds continuously craft imagery outside conscious awareness? Can minds learn how to visualise?

Paulina, who is neurodivergent with aphantasia and ADHD, specialises in supporting people with these conditions.

Her mission is to raise awareness of aphantasia and promote best practices in working with clients with limited or no mental imagery. Paulina runs a personal development company called No Woo Woo!

How does it impact memory? What about (night) dreams? What are the misconceptions within the hypnosis world around aphantasia? How can we approach working with aphantasic clients? Is there a cure for aphantasia? What about the role of trauma in all of this? A profound dive into all things aphantasia! She'll cover many of these topics during her upcoming talk at the UK Hypnosis Convention! Renaissance Hotel, London, her talk is on SATURDAY 15th @11.15 am.
