What is laughter therapy?

From workplaces to therapists' offices to hospitals, laughter coaches aim
to get people laughing in an effort to get them to be their best selves.
By laughing, the theory goes, you're able to keep your cool in a stressful
work situation, make peace with the hurt and pain in your past or deal
with the stress of a serious illness.
That doesn't mean the days of "take two aspirin and call me in the
morning" are completely gone. Laughter therapy can't take the place of
conventional therapies entirely, but there is increasing evidence that a
few hearty chuckles can help you along the road to recovery. You might see
more humor rooms in hospitals, as well as laughter wagons full of funny
books, games and toys roaming the halls. You might be asked to do a few
laughter exercises before your shift at work or before baring your soul to
your therapist. And don't forget the clowns -- they'll be there, too.
Before we send in the clowns, let's take a look at what they're trying to
accomplish with their zany brand of therapy.

Speaking of Therapy:
For any who may not be aware of this, the best place in general to get
therapy is to go to a pancake house. When the waitress arrives to take
ones order, one should order pancakes, french toast or waffles. Some time
will now pass, but when the, lets say pancakes arrive, one springs into
action, grabs the therapy on the table and pours it all over the pancakes.
My favorite flavor is strawberry therapy.
