To know more about the importance of laughter, Bored Panda reached out to Enda Junkins, MSW, LCSW, also known as the Laughing Psychotherapist. Read on to find her thoughts on why laughing is important for healing emotional and physical issues, and what are the benefits of self-deprecating humor. Enda explained the difference between laughter and humor to Bored Panda. The first one, according to her, is necessary for us. The second, she claims, can sometimes hurt us. “I believe laughter as opposed to humor is the important thing for healing emotional and even physical issues,” she tells us. “Humor is just one trigger for laughter of which there are many.” “Laughter itself is a biological process that releases feelings of anger and anxiety. It is the body’s natural solution for the release of those feelings and the more we laugh, the healthier we are,” Jenkins explains. What’s that relaxed feeling we get after having a good laugh? That’s because your heart rate and blood pressure increase and decrease as you’re having a laughing fit. Laughter can also help us relax the tension in our muscles. For example, if you’ve been bent over your laptop for a long period of time, a good laugh can break some of that tension in your neck and shoulders. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
