What are the three main reasons for using humor in CBT?


a) To make fun of the patient's problems, to create a tense environment, and to ignore the seriousness of the situation.
b) To normalize and humanize the therapeutic alliance, to help patients break rigid patterns of thinking and behavior, and to reveal and strengthen their humor skills as an important resource for coping with symptoms and stress.
c) To make the patient feel uncomfortable, to create a hostile environment, and to avoid addressing the real issues.
