Laugh therapy:
People see people using this technique to beat
Depression
Chronic pain
PTSD
Emotional overwhelm
Sensory overload
Bad head spaces
And they'll be so helpful they'll be like
"They're not suffering they're happy" and then go on to invalidate everything that person is going through simply because the person was laughing or focusing on trying to endure, cope or deal with things in a better way.

"When you are trying to eliminate stress from your life, try to indulge your laughter as much as you possibly can. Allow and seek out avenues for it to surface. You can even begin with a smile. Smiling is the beginning of laughter. It too is contagious. It too releases endorphins. Seek out ways to develop your own sense of humour. Seek out that which is funny to you, whether it is renting a funny movie, calling up the friend who always makes you laugh or developing an arsenal of jokes to tell. As laughter becomes an integrated part of your life you will be taken to a mental space where you can view the world from a more relaxed, positive, and balanced perspective." - teal swan
