Embrace sessions are very tailored and personal. Photography can be used "therapeutically" in so many ways. Examples include:
as a way to be seen as the person screaming to get out from all the appointments, anxieties and well meant comments - the person that you still are inside.
it can gently help you see your body beyond the negative aspects that you might focus on post treatment. Or
perhaps the imagery we create will help you initiate tough conversations with children or spouses or
be used to tell your cancer journey story.
to feel happier and confident again - to see what others see
for some it is a simple celebration of who you are here today and how you want people to remember you.
The women who trialled the sessions for me were incredible. We laughed, we cried, we danced and we celebrated. The feedback blew me away. The impacts were far reaching and went beyond our initial aims for each session.
I really believe in them as an additional support mechanism. My next goal is to hopefully get some charity support so that I can extend the reach, still pay the rent, but be able to give people the time they deserve to create something right for them.
If you know someone in the charity sector who funds projects, please ask them to find out more.
