Cosplay is just such a lovely, creative way to a kind of gateway, isn't it into? I think they all tie in to leaving our, for want of a better phrase, our original selves just sort of in the shadows for a brief period of time, like larping, cosplay, and acting.
Ever thought about how dressing up as your favorite character could actually be good for your mental health? In this lively episode of 'Voices of Resilience', hosts Jody and Em from Recovery Devon dive into the colorful world of cosplay and live-action roleplaying (LARP). Joined by an enthusiastic group of cosplayers, including Tom, Kev, Erin, Anne, and specialist photographer Jo from Fab Fantasy UK, they explore how stepping into costume can be a powerful tool for mental health recovery.
From finding confidence in creating and wearing elaborate costumes to the sense of belonging in a supportive community, this episode is packed with personal stories and insights that highlight the magic of cosplay. Whether you're a seasoned cosplayer or just curious about the hobby, you'll find plenty of inspiration and practical advice on how to get involved and experience the mental health benefits of this creative outlet.
Tune in to discover how fantasy and imagination can play a vital role in your journey to wellness.
