Was curious if anyone's found functional treatment regiments for aphantasia. Surprised to find very little. There is some evidence that it may be psychogenic in some patients, which is promising. Quite a few reports of acquired aphantasia (after eg head injury, stroke, surgery)

I don’t really see it as something to be treated. But since I learned about it and self-identified, I’ve idly been taking note of conditions under which I can visualize more. Relaxation by whatever means seems to do something. One time I got abstract color fields on edibles.

I believe them! Have clear imagery in my mind all day, and manipulating those visuals is (subjectively) an important part of my experience of solving problems! & eg I can (and do) vividly place myself back on Wailea Beach for a quick shot of happy vibes—the sparkling waves, etc.
