Listen "#47 -Joking & Absurdity in Therapy"
Episode Synopsis
Everyone knows that therapy is serious business. We help people from broken families with broken dreams to put back the broken pieces of their lives. So suggesting that there is a place for ‘joking and absurdity’ in therapy may seem a bit counter-intuitive. However, ultimately it is the client’s ability to integrate his trauma and suffering that will determine how quickly he heals. Part of this process often depends on the clinicians’ ability ‘lighten up’ the dark cloud the client carries. Of course, showing the absurdity of the client’s situation must be done with caring and empathy. But when done correctly it often can provide a new perspective and a ray of hope to move beyond the burden of their dilemma.A humorous remark can sometimes reveal the thin line between laughing and crying as a way bring a person to the next level of his healing process.
