In a previous article, 'Cinematherapy: How does it work?', I explained what cinematherapy is and how it works. Now I'm going to tell you more about the effect of laughing and crying during a movie. The movies I discuss are 'The Blindside', 'Freedom Writers' and 'Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?', but I also talk a bit about one of my favorite tv shows: 'How I Met Your Mother'. 

Everyone has his or her own little obsessions. Well, so do I and I thought it would be nice to talk about them. Some of them are pointless and perhaps a little bit stupid, others are a true blessing, if I may say.

With a big interest in both cinema and psychology I like to watch (and make) movies with a therapeutical approach or just a certain storyline or main character that can help the audience cope with their own problems. 

In this article I would like to explain how I learned about cinematherapy, what it is and how it actually works.
