I struggle in stores often leaving a cart full of items and leave the store. I have serious driving issues\u2026 flashing lights bother me, I could honestly go on for days about my issues,\u201d says Joe, a recent client of Allebach Photography whose name has been changed to respect his privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite such daily struggles that can make social interactions with strangers difficult, the former U.S. Army soldier insisted that he and his wife do a couple\u2019s boudoir session. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was actually the one who pushed the subject. I knew she\u2019d be on board the moment I brought it up. She is my rock and has my back through everything,\u201d said Joe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He continued, \u201cThe day of the appointment I was nervous not knowing Mike, not knowing the area \u2013 I was completely out of my comfort zone. My wife had me from the second we walked in the door. Mike and the whole crew made me feel at ease.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies have shown for years that therapeutic photography (self-initiative photo-based activities) can have lasting positive effects on our mental health. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPeople are using therapeutic photography techniques to help themselves and others overcome depression, anxiety, chronic pain and much more,\u201d s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ays Bryce Evans, founder, and CEO of The One Project (the photography community for people suffering from depression and anxiety. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 2014 study found that those who took part in creating visual art had a significant increase in\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4077746\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychological Resiliency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The neurotransmitter dopamine\u00a0can be increased through this process, which can be lacking in those suffering from depression and has been found to immediately start to help prevent depressive-like behaviors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Joe, doing a couple\u2019s session with his wife was first and foremost about capturing his love for the person who\u2019s been there through it all with him. The therapeutic benefits were just an added bonus. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt totally showed you what our love looks like from the outside in. We look at the pictures and can\u2019t help but smile because we truly are madly in love with each other,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joe admits he struggles daily with PTSD, but that getting out there in front of a stranger with a camera was a great experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI did it, I made it through it, had a blast, enjoyed every minute there. I could never do this without my wife. We had fun, made friends, and plan to do this many times over despite my anxiety.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking to say \u201cF you\u201d to your anxieties or PTSD? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact us to today to book your session at 610.539.6920 or visit our website at\u00a0<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/contact\">https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/contact<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posttraumatic stress disorder, more commonly known as PTSD, can be a debilitating condition, making it nearly impossible for some people to even leave their homes, let alone be comfortable enough to strip down naked in front of a camera.
