Therapeutic Humor
Therapeutic Humor is the use of humor to promote healing and improve well-being. It can help reduce stress, enhance mood, and foster social connections. Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, which are natural feel-good chemicals in the body, contributing to a sense of happiness and relaxation.
In healthcare settings, Therapeutic Humor can be integrated into patient care to alleviate anxiety and pain. It encourages a positive atmosphere, making it easier for patients to cope with illness. Healthcare professionals may use jokes, funny stories, or light-hearted interactions to create a supportive environment that aids in recovery.
