Next, we peel back the layers of our emotional worlds by delving into the fascinating concepts of primary and secondary emotions from "Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy for Dummies."

Through personal anecdotes, including how we use laughter to cover discomfort, we unpack the importance of understanding these emotional layers to foster authenticity and mindfulness in our interactions.
Finally, we celebrate the incredible health benefits of laughter. Learn how a good laugh can manage stress, boost your immune system, and elevate your mood. From the contagious giggles of children to the joys of stand-up comedy and improv, we explore how humor can transform our well-being.
