Helen, I noticed your inquiry about Rewine Therapy in regard to addressing PTSD. I sent Tom Ebeyer a copy a PDF manuscript entitled The Other Side of Our Emotions, which is a memoir of my journey addressing hurtful and disruptive emotions, but even more so, an approach I discovered that enabled me to eliminate those emotions, one at a time. The approach does not require creating mental images because I am an Aphant and couldn't do that no mater how I tried. I would be glad to send you a copy of this unpublished manuscript if you would like to read it. I can be reached at [email protected]. Rich

If it helps I can never find anyones cars. If I got out of it with them and walked to the building I would remember where it was parked generally but not what it looked like.  If someone came out and turned it around or moved it, I would be unable to find it. This was a big problem when I used to get a different hire car a day for work.  Also people would ask me what the car was and I would maybe have prompted myself to remember that it was blue, but I would only know it was blue and car shaped.  However I am completly disinterested in cars in general. Spelling for me has always been a phonic exercise so I would sound out words.  As a voracious reader I often read words before anyone ever said them to me, so I had some interesting pronunciations! I found it more annoying with strings of numbers and equations. I cannot remember long strings of digits.  If eg phone numbers or currency are stacked one on top of another in a spreadsheet I will loose digits, transpose them up and down and across, and also to me 3,5, 68,0 are visually interchangable depending on the font/ handwriting which also adds to the fun.  I do have a diagnosis of dyscalcula however I wonder if people who can see the information in their minds eye might find this easier. I also rely on understanding to remember things.  I cannot remember a bald fact (eg I did geology and despite trying to rote learn it I still cannot list out geological time in order) however because I understand the logic behind structural geology I can remember those concepts.  Equally I find it very easy to rapidly read huge reports for work, and remember all the concepts, but will have to write prompts for actual  individual facts. I have however had moderate success with rote learning languages, effectively I practice and practice and recite it like a dirge and it eventually sticks.  Because I have to do this, but can quickly and rapidly understand concepts I think may people think I am smarter than I actually am.
