Using Humor in DIRFloortime® Therapy! 2022.09.10

We welcome Dr. Karen Levine, a developmental psychologist of 30 years, to talk about humor in Floortime® and in treating fears and phobias. “Humor shared together can lower anxiety and fear, increase social connection, and increase feelings of happiness, in children, parents and therapists. In this workshop I will talk about several forms of socially shared humor, and describe benefits. I will discuss cautions including the need for awareness of cultural, family and individual differences in humor preference and acceptability” - Dr. Karen Levine
