"Diary of member". Analysis of photos in social networks as psychotherapeutic material. I found it interesting to analyze the social networks of my friends and my own page, which uses mainly videos and photos to describe my own life, thoughts and mood (not texts).* The photo collages presented here are taken from my personal Internet - photo albums Phototherapy, as a separate type of art therapy, appeared at the end of the 20th century and successfully serves to help psychotherapeutic work. However, the analysis of one’s own photographs already taken and exhibited on the world Internet space, it seems to me, is a slightly different type of work and a way to understand some features of my own personality and the personality of the client. From my own account, I realized that now, thanks to this “photo diary,” I can not only remember the chronology of events in my own life, but, interestingly, notice how my ways of conveying it are changing. How the number and nature of my own portraits (selfies) changes, how I learn through landscapes to capture not only the beauty of nature, but also to capture my own mood in the moment and remember it, looking at the photo, many years later. How my children grow, how quickly what seemed unshakable changes. I felt that looking at photos of myself from places I loved with people I loved gave me a huge resource during difficult moments in my life. The smile of dad, who is no longer around, supports me in my album, as if he were still alive. The paper photos that our grandmothers carefully kept in albums have disappeared, but on the vastness of the World Wide Web we publish pieces of our lives and tell even more about ourselves, than we can imagine at that very moment. My friends’ pages surprisingly reminded me of their owners in many ways. After all, this is the so-called “collage” that we use in art therapy, the unspoken task of which is to show “How I would like to be seen” (if we are talking about an open account). In therapy with the client, you could ask to do some exercises based on your own “photo album”:• Present existential themes in the form of a collage (death, freedom, loneliness/isolation, meaning/meaninglessness)• Collect and analyze other life themes (love, friends, childhood, places of power, profession, parenthood, happiness, fear, anxiety, etc.)• Analyze self-portraits (me and my Shadow, acceptance of age and changes, my social roles)• Give the task to record something happy or something giving hope every day (in the form of one photo)• Ask to capture in detail “One Day in the Life” from waking up to sleep • Ask to capture (or choose from available photos) symbolically your life until today. Highlight the main thing, understand what gives strength, brings happiness and satisfaction. • Identify the different emotions that the photographs taken convey, and distribute them into groups. If you want, set a goal to “finish” a photo for a certain group, add new emotions.• You can use some of the client’s photographs as a projective technique• Analyze the themes of your own photographs: which theme prevails, which one may be avoided and why?• Think about what What matters is not what we photograph, but why we photograph it?
