Have you ever started laughing and just couldn't make yourself stop? In fact, the more you try to get yourself to stop, the more impossible it gets? It sometimes isn't at all about what initially started the laughter, it's almost as if it becomes involuntary. When it happens to me I actually end up in tears. Wonder if that might be what happened to your therapist in that moment.

Yes, I was actually nicknamed giggles in school because once I started laughing I couldn't stop. One of my ts once said that laughter and tears are very connected and close. I am starting to see this is the case with nervous laughter. Thank you for that response Lola, it helped me process this a little more.
