Have you ever seen a photo of yourself that ruined your day? Why do we do this? In this episode Georgie & Engrid are diving deeper into what’s triggering this, so we can deal with those deeper issues instead of getting stuck on the photo.
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:
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)
