Robin Shepperson Photography
You Cannot Kill a Memory - (Read Description Please)
This is an entirely new direction for my photography as well as being deeply personal. On occasion for those who have followed me from the beginning, I have eluded to having experience of mental health issues. The truth is, as is the title of this Album, I suffer from CPTSD, which stands for Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, unlike PTSD that extends from one or two short term incidences of trauma, CPTSD extends from the long term effects of trauma. Sometimes from abuse and trauma having lasted for years or even decades, as such was my case.
This new collection will focus on this condition that was only recognised in the DSM 3 back in 1980 and few people know about it. This hopefully will bring about awareness of the condition and help others who suffer from trauma based condition to feel comfortable to speak about it.
Frankly, I couldn't give a shit if I don't get much in the way of faves/likes, it's the information I want to get out and the therapy it serves me and maybe others. Thank you if you read all this, means a lot.
I trust everyone is well and so as always, thank you!
PS: and yes, that is me ;)
