In this episode, Jess and Ryan explore how therapists use humor and playfulness to build trust, strengthen relationships, and create moments of relief for their clients. They discuss how play can be a powerful tool in therapy, helping to establish safety, encourage self-expression, and unlock deeper healing. They also discuss the boundaries of laughter in therapy — when it’s appropriate, when it’s not, and why some therapists choose to hold back. Tune in for an insightful conversation on the lighter side of healing ✨ Hosted by: Dr Ryan Bittinger (they/them) and Dr Jess Erb (she/her) Cover art by: Una Grace Norona (she/her) Produced and edited by: Denise Danda (she/her) Follow us on Instagram: @yourtherapistisnotokay
