i've been trying lately to insert a little humor into my therapy sessions, as a few weeks ago i unintentionally made my therapist bust out laughing and it made me feel really good.

so today i was talking (unrelatedly) about how i haven't been looking forward to coming to session lately, and she asked why that might be the case. i gave a few answers, and then said, "plus i somehow i have to keep you entertained for 45 minutes.." and she was like . it was obvious i was joking, but she seemed to take offense - or at least, she didn't seem to find it funny at all.

do any of you all "joke" around in therapy? how does it go? sometimes i'm really tired of droning on about my problems, and just want to lighten the mood! and like i said before, it feels really good to make my therapist laugh.
