I was just wondering if humor can help with PTSD and dissociation. I'm also wondering if there is a humor thread on here - with tasteful humor (not triggering or offensive ones). I miss laughing. I watch shows or read some funny things, but it would be great to connect with human beings. Comedy clubs would be an option if they weren't so vulgar at times, which sends my PTSD into high gear. But laughter is something I miss. I was just wondering if there are groups, treatments, or anything that involves some sort of humor. It's sad to be sad all the time, or stressed from processing so much trauma.

I remember my half-sister's ex who was a police officer say that how they dealt with stress and traumatic encounters is by finding something about the situation to laugh about. I'm not sure if that's the right thing for victims of trauma, as opposed to observers of trauma (secondary or vicarious), but it would be great to be able to laugh about things again.

What do you think?
