In this episode, we dive into the power of humor as a therapeutic tool. As therapists, we explore how laughter, playfulness, and light moments can create emotional safety, deepen connection, and support healing—even in the midst of pain.
We talk about when humor can break tension and build rapport in session, and when it might be a way to deflect from deeper emotions. From cultural sensitivity to trauma-informed care, we look at how humor can help clients feel seen without overwhelming them.
We also reflect on our own experiences as therapists—why we believe being real, playful, and even a little silly doesn’t make us unprofessional—it makes us human.
✨ Because healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time.
