I'm not in therapy right now but when I was I used to have laughing fits in the middle of my sessions. My therapist would laugh along a little and she was very nice about it but I found it extremely embarrassing. It's not like anything funny would happen, I just couldn't help myself. Anyone else experience this? OR have any theories on why I do that?

One of my therapists thought it meant that I was trying to escape thinking about something that made me feel very uncomfortable. Another thought I did it whenever I discovered a new idea that I liked.
