The Experiences, Insights, and Methods of a Middle School Teacher who Discovered that Aphantasia was a Thing with Paul Bogush Part 2

Send us Fan MailIn part two with Paul Bogush, a visualizing middle school teacher, we continue our discussion about his experiences trying to understand and help his students that have aphantasia. He explains how aphantasia is not a diagnosis or a disorder and we get into the ever complicated question of "what is imagination?". We also talk about sympathy vs empathy, advantages, labels, anxiety, multi-step directions, creativity, reading comprehension, art, personal organization, decision fatigue, validation, and the apple test vs the square test. Oh and in case you missed it... when it comes to our internal experiences, everyone is different.Check out the original Aphantasia and Beyond Youtube videos that I mention in this episode.
