The first therapist I see now has tried and failed miserably and she blamed my sense of humor for her incompetence. I had to put a stop to it. It was horrible.
The second one does not I don't think. I can't remember if she has tried or not.

He does make jokes, as a way to lighten the mood. I like that actually, it's really nice to be able to really laugh sometimes.

She doesn't and I'm glad. Honestly I'm not there to laugh. I usually feel terrible and jokes would be odd in that context.

We share a similar sense of humor, but there is a time for everything. I know I use sarcasm and being funny as a front to what's really going on with me, so my t and I only joke when it's appropriate in session.

If you mean engages in witty banter, sure.
If you mean tells actual jokes, they don't except for No. 1, who seemed to have a limitless supply of Buddhist jokes. Most of which had to be explained to me, which she was terrible at. |

I took it as the therapist trying to have humor in general - not joke telling. I have never had one who tried to tell an actual joke - thank god. I find that insufferable with real people, from a therapist it would be even more intolerable.

Yes , we have a similar sense of humour , and humour is important to me. " Humour allows emotional chaos to be processed in tranquility " is one of my favourite sayings.

No, thank god. We share a smile occasionally but he never tries to be funny. If I want bad jokes, I have my father for that.

Mine rarely does. I try to be funny in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere for myself whilst talking about difficult things but it isn't a good thing obviously and I'm usually the only one laughing at my own joke so it becomes so awkward. She does laugh at some of my jokes but I should try to get more serious.

Therapist? Yes... but his jokes are awful and would be considered "offensive" to people with certain mental illnesses. (e.g., he once made fun of schizophrenia). I'm ending my therapy relationship with him.
Psychiatrist? Hell no. He's very serious. Never makes a joke or laughs. |
