Humor

There are several ways to bring laughter in your life. One method is to make use of media platforms. Listen to comedy podcasts, watch funny videos and movies, or read comic books and joke compilations.

Social laughter is also an important aspect of humor therapy. By surrounding yourself with people, you improve social relations offering plenty of opportunities to share stories, swap jokes, and laugh. When laughter is elicited, you relax and increase the thresholds for pain.
