Do I'd said something to T about why I am in therapy and T said you are in therapy because.... And she began to list my traumas.
With that I just burst out laughing. T stared at me and said "oh, I dunno why I did that." than I thought about the laugh, how it really did feel as if it had come from a part of me that I really haven't known about.
T said, laughter us close to crying. I said, but I don't feel like I'm going to cry.
The laugh really was a spontaneous laugh. One that is very new to me. I really did feel like that had come from a place deep, deep inside of me. That it had a life all of its own.
I've laughed stuff off before, but this wasn't like that.

Does she know why you think you're in therapy?

I'm not sure I understand your question.
T was reminding me of the traumas in my life that brought me to therapy.
It was me that was in that fog again. I need it reinforced or I tend to go back into that place where everything we 'fine'.

I think I understand Mouse, though I can't put words on it properly.
I've had things (not necessarily laughter) come spontaneously from unknown parts of me in therapy. It's an odd feeling.
I've also laughed in therapy when I've known at some deep level that I'm really crying.
The other thing is that laughter releases oxytocin and the like. We can learn to make ourselves laugh in order to feel better. Maybe the laugh came from a part of you that learned that long ago...?

Yes, just shakey. I think you're correct
