Thank you for the information. I had never heard of aphantasia until your comment. Shirley

Therefore EMDR, Rapid Eye, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and other forms of trauma therapies are not accessible. Sometimes they can be adapted for those who only experience visual aphantasia, but for those with multi sensory aphantasia and if it extends to emotions as well like in the case of SDAM, we need modalities invented that work for us. We are so rarely mentioned despite 2-6% of the population having visual aphantasia, 1% having total multi sensory aphantasia, and .1% also having severely deficient autobiographical memory.
