Free Telecall, June 18, 3:00 - 3:45 pm. See: DanielLappin.com/60. Conference Workshop: June 29 to July 3. Use comedy, humor, laughter with therapy.
This experiential workshop will explore how to integrate comedy, humor and laughter within trauma therapy. The premise is that trauma resolution therapy shares common principles with comedy, humor and laughter.
This original scholarship is based upon over 50 client case studies of adults with self-reported trauma, often with comorbid health conditions, childhood trauma, and pain symptoms, as well as stress from personal relationship and employment challenges. This does not include emergency and disaster relief situations.
In these case studies the tactical goal was to use comedy, humor and laughter to address mind, emotional, behavioral and story issues of the client and thus, gain deeper access to identify and effect the internal physiology and system regulation issues of the condition. This is a highly personal, contextual, and improvisational treatment.
The therapeutic tactic is to anthropomorphize and animate the signaling system of the client's internal physiology and condition. This tactic brings the client alive and coherent in the face of difficult, disabling or overwhelming conditions - whether personal, relationship or illness related.
