The Image As A Therapeutic Tool

The therapeutic potential of photography in trauma processing, as described in the text, highlights photography as a powerful medium for externalizing and reflecting on complex, painful emotions. By capturing visual representations of intense experiences, individuals can revisit these moments from a removed perspective, allowing them to explore their feelings from a safer, more controlled distance. Photography serves not only as a personal narrative but as an anchor in overwhelming times, as seen in the two distinct examples of Lasse Bak Mejlvang and Olivia.
