Title: Re-framing with Humor Post by: Buzz77 on May 12, 2013, 07:37:39 PM lately when I have recounted wild anecdotes from my rltp. w/ my ex; friends react in two ways... . either sympathetic shocked laughter or plain aghast... .
Admittedly, I'm a funny storyteller, but I know many of these shocked reactions are aimed at the absurdity of my behavior, that I put up w/ such dramatic, unpredictable behavior... . Nonetheless, I think humor is a healthy way to re-frame and begin processing, i.e. looking at myself... . I'd recommend it.

Some things are better left in the past.
