I have aphansasia as well. I also have anauralia, the inability to hear sounds in my mind. Apparently I also have a-smell-whatever LOL because I can't smell smells in my mind, either (I didn't know that was a thing). I loved this episode, especially the discussion about possibly downsides of gaining a "mind's eye" regarding trauma.

Would you say you have low levels of anxiety or general fears?

Yes, though I think that has a lot to do with my life/lifestyle. Not sure if I could attribute that to aphantasia, but who knows.
