IN THIS EPISODE:

This episode focuses on our individual perception of ourselves.

What makes you see a photo of yourself and not like it?

A bad photo is not a representation of YOU as a person

What does my mind tell me, when I see a "bad" photo of myself?

The gals each share their "rough draft" thoughts of what their inner critic says when they've seen a photo they didn't like of themselves

Georgie: My deepest desire is to be seen and heard (clearly) How can I see myself clearly first?

Engrid: I feel less worthy (I have no value if I'm not pretty/attractive)

Are we trying to recreate or match a feeling we've felt before (likely in childhood)?

Body image noise gets louder anytime we're trying to EXPAND

We often put a lot of pressure and have high expectations on photos

What's Really Going On? (Beyond The Photo)

Sometimes time can be helpful before revisiting a photo

Garry Winogrand:

• A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.
• Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks Photographed
• If you think about it based on everyone's life experience we're all seeing through completely different lenses - you'll never know how

Engrid: I've come to realize that my body dysmorphia may apply to more than just my body. I'm in the process of learning how this critical lens may be affecting other areas of my life

Georgie: I don't think I see myself clearly - what lens am I bringing? What about that lens is positive? What is negative? Can I change my lens (or upgrade it)
