Listen "# 22 Humor in therapy"
Episode Synopsis
Video 22 - Humor in therapy How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? Answer: One. But the lightbulb has to really really want to change!... The best therapy is not always linear and logical. Sometimes in countering clients who are 'stuck in a rut', it works best to offer 'absurd' solutions to their problems. The idea here is not to 'make fun of the client', but rather to shake up the status-quo in how the client is relating to their issue. Humor tends to challenge the client's rigid way of thinking. However it is also important for the therapist to check his own motivation and whether he is actually being sarcastic.
