After all, who better to tickle our funny bones than those who navigate the labyrinth of our minds? Here are 15 humorous jests that illuminate the lighter side of therapy—strap in and prepare for a therapeutic giggle!

How do therapists conduct their sessions? By ‘letting time heal all wounds’—one weekly appointment at a time. Just don’t forget to set your watch!
