Send us Fan MailIn this episode I talk with Kristen Erickson who has aphantasia but her experiences with it seem very different than mine. In fact, based on the way she describes her experiences, I would never guess she had aphantasia. We talk about how words are a tricky obstacle when trying to describe our experience, how important it is to try and understand others experiences, how visualizing or not visualizing can affect education, counseling, playing chess, and more.  Support the showHere is a link to the apple graph, the nature picture, and the carnival picture. https://www.shanesbraindomain.com/aphantasiaYou could be on the podcast with YouPhantasia!
