After the article, “Posing naked for a women’s magazine felt brave and shocking,” by Melissa Whitworth came out in the UK’s version of Glamour magazine, the photographic therapy (phototherapy, therapeutic photography) topic has risen in photography forums world-wide.

Another relationship has turned sour. The magic is lost.

While there may be no concrete proof that a loving relationship is beneficial to one’s health, it certainly seems to have a positive effect on one’s overall well being.

The more relaxed and loving a relationship is, the better the chances are that a person will not suffer as many stress induced health problems. Read More→
