In today’s episode, I am talking to Tom Ebeyer, founder of the Aphantasia Network. We love making invisible things visible, and this might truly be the most invisible thing we have ever discussed on the show! Today, we are making invisible things visible for people who don’t see visual images when they are asked to imagine things. I am talking to Tom Ebeyer, founder of the Aphantasia Network. I had LOTS of questions for him, because over the past 2 years, I have quite the cohort of clients who have aphantasia, now that I have been asking the questions no one has ever asked them before. And I have Tom and the good ole CBC for that.
We talk about:
- What the heck is ‘Aphantasia’ and how do I know if I have it?
- How does aphantasia affect the way we make sense of our experiences in life?
- Aphantasia, grief and PTSD
- Why traditional therapy might not work for aphantasics,
- How can an invisible thing like aphantasia can make anxiety worse?
- How can I tell my therapist or doctor what they need to do differently to work with my brain?
