In her book, Laughter Therapy, Dr. Annette Goodheart states that she believes “the first major myth about laughter that prevents us from laughing as much as we need to is that we must have a reason to laugh.”

Reasoning is powerful and helpful.

It helps us solve daily problems, discern information, and create a plan of action. But when it comes to laughter and enjoying the experience of laughter, reasoning can be hurtful.

We censor ourselves because we THINK too much about the laughter.

The Red Hats are right into Laughter.

We explore the benefits of learning to laugh when life isn’t funny. We think of the sounds of laughter as sounds of healing and look on laughter as a tool for wellness.

We listen to others with a laughing heart.

A laughing heart is a heart that hears what is not being said. When you are present with another person and laughter occurs between you, your hearts have laughed together.

And when you have a laughing heart, you have a healing heart.
