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

    So when learning routes, do you turn the corner and think, “Oh, yeah. This is here.”?

      Pretty much hahaha. I’ll get a lightning bolt realisation that I’m actually somewhere I know, especially if I’m coming in from a different route / angle.

        Thanks for sharing this. I was aware of the condition, but never really thought about it or could think about how it could make life difficult for a person.

        This was really interesting to read. I’m guessing their are no treatments for it. I’m going to have to read about this more.
