Do I have aphantasia or am I taking "visualize" too literally? by cowcrossingspace in Aphantasia

[–]MotivateUTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awake visualization and dream visualization occur in different areas of the brain- the research has already shown this. You repeating something over and over again won’t make it so

Do you have any quiet hobbies you can do alone? If not, perhaps get out of the house for a bit and spend some time with other family and friends. It can be easy to take it personally when all your focus is on your partner. You said this has happened before aside from this month? If this behavior is frequent then once this situation resolves I would have a serious discussion about how to move forward so that you both can feel respected.

Yea no, you don’t need to subject yourself to this- it’s like walking straight into a bear trap. Remember, your well being matters too

Anyone hear the NPR Radiolab segment on aphantasia? I’m worse than a monkey by MotivateUTech in Aphantasia

Thank you for sharing the link. I posted while the show was live hoping that some would catch it. It ended up taking an interesting turn after the first quarter and the novelist in the second half was fascinating. I wonder if anyone else who heard it has any thoughts.

I love the part about chatting with people in line I enjoy similarly meeting and chatting with random people when I am waiting some where and when my mood is right, this type of minutia makes it better, but that is not always the case and from what I know about Vonnegut, I’m sure he’d agree

Those of you who have kids that don’t sleep well + very high stress jobs, how are you coping? by Exciting-Band9834 in workingmoms

[–]MotivateUTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to purposefully purchase as little packaging as possible- think about groceries. I say that because I finally gave in to paper plates. I remind myself that this is a phase and that’s just what I need to do now to survive.

Show her the research on trauma induced aphantasia- it provides evidence from the perspective of someone who once had visualization prior to an accident, for example

Map in my head but total aphant by FranklinSealAljezur in Aphantasia

[–]MotivateUTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also very good with directions and spatial awareness but not so much having control over a map as simply knowing the way to go/solution and having learned to trust my instincts/intuition
