Send us Fan MailIn this episode we discover how Rebecca James' mind works. Rebecca found out that she has aphantasia just a few months ago and she thinks that it will be considered a disability in the future. I disagree, but we do take some time to discuss our opinions on the matter. It seems to me that Rebecca tends to approach aphantasia with more absolutes than I do, perhaps because it's new to her and I have been marinating in it for nearly 30 years. I enjoyed many of her unique descriptions and experiences revolving around dreams, PTSD, words, reading, and math. I also loved her description of seeing aurora borealis type lights when she closes her eyes.Check her out on Instagram at @queenjamesversionSupport 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!
