Panmodal Aphantasia is not a shield. It is a structural vulnerability that guarantees a divergent form of suffering.
It defies the purpose of a coping mechanism because it amplifies pressure.
It defies the purpose of a defense mechanism because it enforces exposure.
To call #aphantasia an advantage is to mistake the inability to scream for the absence of pain. https://open.substack.com/pub/cristinagherghel/p/the-failed-kiss?r=6bmg7x&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false#MentalHealthResearch #SomaticTherapy #CopingMechanisms

Another long day of study: manuscript edits this morning, referencing all afternoon, and Lent study tonight. I also had my first session with a new therapist—she seems good, more somatic-focused compared to my previous psychodynamic one. Different energy. I’ve also joined the Christian Union at Deakin. The Bible teaching is brilliant, though socialising is tough with all the noise—I can’t hear well enough to join in.

I'm a published writer! SO EXCITED. I wrote a chapter for a book coming out called Mind over matter. My chapter is about somatic psychology, dreams and spirituality.
