Ep 62 The Therapeutic Processes of Photography: A journey of self-healing and self-discovery

Heal Yourself With Sarah Dawkins

Christiaan shares his love of photography with me and how he found long exposures would bring him into the present moment and out of his mind. He found this a great healing modality for the stress and anxiety he developed in his day job, as a medical doctor. BIO Christiaan is a Family Doctor based in East Anglia in the UK. As the stress of the medical job took hold, taking him to the hospital twice with heart arrhythmia, Christiaan reduced his medical hours to pursue his love of photography. Whilst still working as a Doctor, Christiaan went back to school to do a diploma in photography, followed by a Higher National Diploma online, which he then converted into a First Class Honours degree. His dissertation reviewed the benefits of Therapeutic Photography in treating mental illness. Christiaan also discovered self-healing through his own processes of long-exposure photography, which he uses to de-stress from the rigours of daily life.
