My 'lol' is similar to what I do in therapy-- I often laugh at things that I am not very proud of. Helps to ease it rather than confront it, you know?

i can't remember the exact details, but i remember discussing something serious and actually pretty painful that happened to myself and I couldn't stop from laughing and grinning about it. my therapist gently, but seriously asked me to not to laugh about it because it wasn't funny. her tone really showed me it wasn't something to laugh about and i was sort of shocked that i wasn't more conscious that i was laughing about it. in my head i was like "wow i am laughing though i know it isn't funny". and it basically made me pause to wonder about my coping tactics.
