Therapeutic Laughter
I don't think I would've survived the years of abuse I went through if it wasn't for humor. Humor throughout the healing process is incredibly important. It not only lifts the spirits, it also helps with the physiological response of stress relief. One of the major symptoms of PTSD is hypervigilance. With hyper-vigilance comes the inability to calm oneself down because the body is reacting to what it perceives as stressful stimuli. Those with PTSD can live on-edge for months or even years without even realizing how stressed they actually are. This is why giving ourselves time to laugh is so important.
