Seen: Why Your Brain Learned To Hide And How To Feel Safe Enough To Be Seen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798234134004)

Not the real you. What you see in the mirror is a story your brain has been editing for decades - every flaw magnified, every good thing turned down low. SEEN is the book that finally corrects the record.

Boudoir photographer Jodi Dazzo has spent years watching women stare at their own photographs and say the same four words: "That doesn't look like me." This book is about why - and about the shame, comparison, fear, and self-doubt standing between you and the woman who's been there all along.

Weaving raw personal story with accessible neuroscience, Jodi takes you through the exact process that changes a woman in her studio, chapter by chapter:

• Shame - and why it was never about your body


• Comparison - and the brain science behind why it has such a grip


• Confidence - built the same way, every single time, by anyone who's ever had it


• Fear - and proof it's always smaller than the rehearsal


• Evidence - the one thing your brain can't argue with

This isn't a book about photography. It's about the moment you stop editing yourself down and start letting yourself be seen - by the mirror, by the people who love you, and for the first time, by you.

With a Foreword by neuroscience author and photographer Phillip Anthony.

Every woman deserves to feel beautiful. Not someday. Not after. Now, exactly as she is.
