Dr Paulina Trevena is a hypnotherapist and a researcher, with 18 years’ experience in academic research. Paulina, who is neurodivergent with aphantasia and ADHD, specialises in supporting people with these conditions. During her hypnosis training, she realised having aphantasia was a barrier to experiencing hypnosis – and started a research project into aphantasia and hypnosis. 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!
These are just some of the questions we covered in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr Paulina Trevena:
How does having aphantasia impact experiences of hypnosis and meditation?
Why does this matter for hypnotherapists?
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.
