I'm the chat leader of Grounding Skills and I did indeed ask if there was a place for humor in healing from trauma, mental health etc... Over the years of my own healing, I have found that if I didn't have a sense of humor I think I would really not ever be grounded. Healing from Extreme Trauma is so overwhelming that it got to a place where something had to give and I couldnt' find any good points about me or healing and that it was a complete nightmare. So as I became healthier and more aware, humor has played an invaluable role in my healing.

As far as laughing at the trauma, mental illness or whatever... that is unexceptable to me. Thank-you so much for posting it the way you did, I appreciate it TheByzantine!
Just one more thing I'd like to point out in my situation, is I feel like the people in this world and me are like water and oil, I just have a tough time
dealing with things. So instead of spacking the person by the bus, I find something, anything funny about the situation to take the pressure off.
That is what I meant and I think Byzantine and Perna put it out there well. I hope others will give us your thoughts...
