Baggage Check: Mental Health Talk and Advice

Aphantasia, When Your Mind Doesn't "See": A Conversation with Serena Puang


Listen Later

Do you visualize things in your head? How good is your "mind's eye?" Today we dive deep into aphantasia-- a condition that many people have without even knowing it's a thing. In this episode, we welcome Serena Puang, a Yale student and journalist with aphantasia-- and talk about the surprising ways it affects her life. If you've ever wondered (even outside of the holiday season!) "Do you see what I see?" then you'll want to join us for today's Baggage Check.

See Serena Puang's NY Times piece on aphantasia here.
