Aphantasia... apparently 3% of the world has it. Any aphantasists in here, who've had success improving their condition?
10 years ago, I'd have put my ability to visualise at 0 out of 10. Practice and occasional halucinogen use has got me to 2 out of 10. It causes no end of problems in day to day life, so I'm interested to hear if anyone has tips or just experiences to share so it doesn't feel such a lonely frustrating issue.
edit informative comment from @Gwaer@lemm.ee about image streaming, I did a bit of digging on the broken links, the Dr isn't giving the info away for free anymore without buying their (expensive) book, but I found some further info on additional techniques here, pages 2/3: https://nlpcourses.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Image-Streaming-Mode-of-Thinking.pdf

What's it like when you try think through a math problem? Like do you just follow your feelings and intuitively get to the answer?
For me it's definitely a clearly defined voice in my head. "First I do this, add those together..." etc
I don't know. I just think about the idea of it i guess? If i want to build a flower bed and I need to know the area, I just measure and multiply.
That's super interesting, thanks. Figure describing thoughts is pretty hard haha
