Episode 7. Unfolding Memories Through Personal Archives and Therapeutic Photography

from Talent Free · host Sasha Mazur-K

Today I’m speaking with Lilit — a photographer, filmmaker, and photography teacher — about lens-based practices that quickly open into something deeper: personal archives, memory, and the emotional power of images. We unpack therapeutic photography vs. photo therapy, and how working with personal photos can support mental health and the creative process through reflection, meaning-making, and visual storytelling. And why, in creative work, being childish can actually be a strength.Today’s guestLilit DanielyanTherapeutic Photography courseLinktreeInstagramAuthors mentioned in the episode:Neil Gibson "Therapeutic Photography: Enhancing Self-Esteem, Self-Efficacy and Resilience"Judy Weiser "Phototherapy Techniques: Exploring the Secrets of Personal Snapshots and Family Albums"Gabor Maté "The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture"Elizabeth Gilbert Substack “Letters from Love”Frida Kahlo “The Diary of Frida Kahlo”Host⁠Sasha Mazur-K⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠LinkedIn
