Welcome to Different Spectrums! We're a podcast led by licensed therapists and neurodivergent individuals, exploring emotions in movies and shows to normalize mental health challenges and promote understanding.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the fascinating world of hyperphantasia. Our guest, Rebecca Vitsmun, sheds light on this incredible ability to visualize things in extreme detail.

Rebecca explains how hyperphantasia allows a person to picture an apple with such vividness that they can see its color, imperfections, and even the glisten inside when it's cut. She shares her personal experience of visualizing an apple on a cutting board, describing the table and all the intricate details involved. This ability to zoom in and out, to see and describe the finest details, is what defines hyperphantasia.

If you or someone you know might have this extraordinary capability, Rebecca provides insights into recognizing it, from the vividness of imagined scenes to the cinematic experience of reading a book. Hyperphantasia can bring an enriched sensory experience but also poses unique challenges.

Join us as we explore this topic and discuss how hyperphantasia intersects with other conditions, such as autism and schizophrenia, and what it means for those who experience it.
