Summary
Are photos everything? Should you depend on them for information about yourself? A photo can give you important information and help you preserve valuable memories. It can also give you a very limited perspective of yourself that doesn’t necessarily reflect how you look to yourself or to other people. In today’s episode, Rachael and Kelsea discuss cameras and other tools, the dysphoria that they can cause, and how to think about the information that you get from these tools.
Topics Discussed in Today’s Episode:
- Understanding why photos of the same person look different
- Why photo anxiety doesn’t just affect you on good days
- Why people sometimes give up because of pictures
- Why photos are important
- Why one perspective isn’t everything
- Avoiding outsourcing and relinquishing your power
- Why cameras can’t capture what the human eye can
- Living your truth
