So you know you have aphantasia.
But how well do you understand what that means for you?
Aphantasia in Everyday Life
Understand & Work With YOUR Aphantasic Mind
An 8-week live online programme with
Dr Paulina Trevena
You know you can't see pictures in your mind.
But what else might aphantasia mean for the way you think, remember, learn, experience emotions or approach everyday life?
Perhaps you've wondered why certain things seem different for you.
Or why techniques that work for other people don't seem to work for you.
Maybe you've only recently learned about your aphantasia, or perhaps you've known for years but still have plenty of questions.
This programme is an opportunity to explore those questions, understand your own mind better and find approaches that work for you.
Over eight weeks, we'll explore different aspects of living with aphantasia, compare experiences and discuss practical ideas in a small, supportive group.
Starts 25 November 2026 Live online
Maximum 12 participants
🎉 Early Bird: £367
until Monday 9 November!
Plus a complimentary 30-minute 1:1 consultation for the first 5 people to enrol.
What could you learn about your own mind?
During the programme, you'll have the opportunity to:
Understand how aphantasia may relate to your memory, learning, emotions and relationships.
Explore what is connected to aphantasia and what may have other explanations.
Learn about autobiographical memory, SDAM
and the different ways people remember their lives.
Find alternative techniques to visualisation.
Compare experiences with other people who have aphantasia.
Identify strategies that work for you, rather than trying to make your mind work like someone else's.
What will you leave with?
You'll create your own
Personal Aphantasia Profile -
bringing together what you've learned about your mind and the approaches you find useful.
The aim isn't to tell you how an aphantasic mind works -
it's to help you understand how YOUR
aphantasic mind works.
Why I created this programme
I'm Dr Paulina Trevena, an aphantasia and hypnosis expert, researcher and certified hypnotherapist working with people who have aphantasia.
I'm also the founder of Aphantasia World with Dr Paulina Trevena, a Facebook community of over 4,000 members.
I have global aphantasia, Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory (SDAM) and ADHD myself, and I only realised all this in my late 40s.
Understanding how my mind works has helped me make sense of experiences I'd never understood -
and find alternatives to visualisation.
Through my clinical practice, research and conversations in the FB group, I've helped many others with aphantasia have the same lightbulb moments.
I've also noticed how often we attribute experiences to aphantasia that may not be related to it at all!
That's what inspired this programme.
I wanted to create a space where you could:
-
work out what is and is not down to aphantasia
-
compare notes with others
-
develop a clearer understanding of how your own mind works.

What we'll cover over eight weeks
Week 1:
Understanding Your Aphantasic Mind
What is aphantasia, and why do people experience it differently? We'll explore the different forms of aphantasia and begin identifying the characteristics of your own mind.
Week 2:
Aphantasia, Neurodivergence & Mental Health
How does aphantasia relate to ADHD, autism and other differences in how people think and experience life? We'll explore possible overlaps, important distinctions and what we do and don't know.
Week 3:
Memory, Autobiographical Memory & SDAM
Why can remembering your own life feel different from remembering facts? We'll explore different types of memory, SDAM and ways to preserve personal memories.
Week 4:
Remembering & Learning
How do you learn and retain information without mental imagery? We'll discuss practical strategies and consider what works best for different people.
Week 5:
Goals, Future Thinking & Personal Development
What if you can't picture your future self or visualise your goals? We'll explore ways to approach planning, goals and personal development without relying on mental pictures.
Week 6:
Emotions & Relationships
We'll discuss emotions, relationships, grief, remembering loved ones and how to explain your experience of aphantasia to other people.
Week 7:
Tools for Calm & Personal Change
A practical session exploring relaxation and wellbeing approaches that don't require visualisation, with opportunities to try different techniques and reflect on what works for you.
Week 8:
Bringing It All Together
We'll review what you've learned and complete your Personal Aphantasia Profile, identifying the insights and strategies you want to take forward.
Your Personal Aphantasia Profile
Throughout the programme, you'll gradually build a profile of your own experience - and your lightbulb moments!
It will bring together what you've learned about your memory, thinking, learning, emotions, relationships and approaches to everyday life.
You'll also identify which techniques and strategies work for you, which don't, and what you might want to do differently.
By the end, you'll have something personal and practical to refer back to, rather than simply a set of course notes.
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
This programme is for anyone with aphantasia who wants to understand their own mind better.
You might have learned about aphantasia recently or known about it for years.You might have specific questions about memory, learning, emotions or relationships.
Or you might simply be interested in comparing experiences and learning more about the different ways aphantasia can affect people.
You don't have to be struggling with aphantasia to join.
And you don't need to have all the right questions before you start.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to share personal experiences?
Discussion is an important part of the programme, but you can decide how much you're comfortable sharing.
Do I need to know much about aphantasia?
No. We'll start with the basics and build from there.
Will this help me learn to visualise?
No. This is NOT what this course is about. We'll focus on understanding your mind as it is and exploring approaches that work for you.
Will I find out whether I have ADHD, autism or SDAM?
We'll discuss these subjects, but the programme doesn't provide diagnostic assessments.
What if my experience is different from other participants'?
That's absolutely fine. Comparing both similarities and differences is one of the most interesting parts of the programme.
Is this therapy?
No. This is an educational and personal-development programme, not therapy or treatment.
There's still so much you can learn about your own mind
Understanding that you have aphantasia may answer some questions.
But it can also raise plenty of new ones.
This programme is a chance to explore those questions, learn from other people with aphantasia and develop a better understanding of your own experiences.
So if you’re a curious soul who wants to understand themselves better… I'd love for you to join us!
