Your Brain on Laughter: Why You Feel Better When You Smile
Could something as simple as laughter actually transform your mental health? The science says absolutely yes – and it's far more powerful than most people realize.
When you laugh, your entire body engages in a physiological symphony that releases endorphins, increases oxygen levels, and creates a natural stress-reduction cycle similar to deep meditation. But unlike meditation, which requires practice and discipline, laughter gives us these benefits effortlessly. This episode dives into both the immediate and long-term impacts of bringing more humor into your life, from boosting your immune system to easing physical pain through natural painkiller production.
For those struggling with anxiety or depression, the suggestion to "just laugh more" might initially seem dismissive. Yet research consistently shows that even intentional or forced laughter triggers the same positive physiological responses. We explore practical strategies for rediscovering humor during difficult times and how developing your sense of humor works like emotional strength training – building resilience that carries you through life's inevitable challenges.
Beyond the personal benefits, we examine how laughter functions as social glue, drawing people together and creating meaningful connections. Learning to laugh at yourself (without self-deprecation) demonstrates an emotional intelligence that others naturally gravitate toward. Whether you're naturally humorous or feel your funny bone needs rehabilitation, this episode offers actionable insights for harnessing the healing power of laughter.
Next episode, we'll count down our top 10 funniest movies to help jumpstart your laughter practice! Subscribe now so you don't miss it, and text "hypnosis" to 313-800-8510 for a free PDF guide to hypnosis and to leave us a review.

In this episode of the Motor City Hypnotist Podcast, we're talking about laughter, laughter and its effect on your mental health. Now, this seems trite and cliche, especially when I'm sitting with clients tonight, because we talk about specific things like well, what are things that you enjoy, what makes you happy, what makes you laugh? And a lot of times, when people are in an anxious or depressed state, it's hard to bring those up. But I can tell you, and we'll talk about it, there are huge benefits to laughing, even when you don't feel like it. And, as usual, we're giving away free stuff. Hang in there, folks, we'll be right back.

For those of you out there who've been wondering, like maybe you join us on Facebook Live every Monday evening, where I've been for the last two months. But, as you know, if you listen to this podcast for any length of time, it was the middle of grad season in April, started in April, went full bore second week in May through the first week of June and I was pretty much up every night in the middle of the night. 1, 2, 3 am doing hypnosis shows.

We had a little family thing, everything's cool on that end, my wife's dad was in the hospital. He's still there but in recovery, so that's all good. That other voice you hear today is Jamie. Jamie Flanagan is joining us tonight. Matt's doing family stuff.

David Wright: 3:49
It depends, it depends. I'll give you my. I was doing Ogama up near Michigan, in West Branch, for a couple years and then they switch off. They have a hypnotist and they switch off for a couple years and then bring us back but there they have this huge barn, is a great facility. Every night that my show was. They have these. I don't know if you've ever been to the olgama county fair, but they have these. These, um, it's, it's, it's like the this, this area with these pumps, these oil pumps, like actual oil derricks. They're mini ones, but this machine arena is like bang, bang, boom, boom. So I have to deal with that every time I do a show and it was funny. And then, of course, saturday night, which is when I do a fair, that's typically my last night of the show. Of course, 8 o'clock, when my show starts, the demolition derby starts in the arena right next to us.

David Wright: 5:48
Awesome, it is time for our winner of the week.
Announcer: 6:00
That's how winning is done.
David Wright: 6:02
All right, it's been a long time since we've well, it's a long time since we've done a podcast, but we haven't had a winner in a while. So I was trying to find a good story, and I know, jamie, you've probably heard this enough that if it involves animals, it's always a good story for us because we just love animals.
David Wright: 6:18
But let me just start with the story. The old stereotype of a mailman running from the dog has been turned upside down by a Texas letter carrier and a pooch named Floyd. Ian Burke first met the dog while delivering mail in Denton three years ago. Floyd, a German shepherd and border collie mix, came charging up behind him and introduced himself as only an energetic puppy can. During his regular postal route, burke got to know Floyd and his owner, a Vietnam veteran who was confined to a wheelchair after serving his country. Floyd was equal parts service animal and friendly companion.
David Wright: 6:56
Over time Floyd's house became one of Burke's favorite stops, with the mailman delivering pets and pats and gentle scratches for his four-legged friend. That treasured the affection. He loves to hug me, burke told CBS News. He treats everybody like a friend, like you've known him forever. Burke also learned that Floyd actually had a full name Pretty Boy Floyd, after the infamous bank robber Although his pretty boy only steals extra belly rubs. Bank robber although his pretty boy only steals extra belly rubs. A year and a half ago Burke's delivery route changed and he lost contact with Floyd and his owner. Then, earlier this month, bad news arrived Floyd's owner had passed away and a dog matching Floyd's description was now housed at the City of Denton Animal Shelter. Burke was first in line at the shelter's front door when the hold on Floyd expired, and moments later the beloved black dog now had a forever home with his former mailman oh yeah, isn't that great.
David Wright: 7:56
Based on the media that's out there in the word, uh, based on the media that's out there in the world and some old old wives tales. Mailmen and dogs don't always get along. Jenny McGee of the Denton Animal Shelter told CBS it was great not only to see that Floyd found a wonderful home, but also that the old myth about mailmen and dogs isn't true. Burke said he's honored to be Floyd's new owner and he doesn't take the responsibility lightly. The mailman is good to all the other animals on his route too often bringing treats for the dogs he encounters and feeding the community's cats when he can. He hopes that all the media attention that Floyd has received might encourage others to adopt a shelter pet. This is a perfect example. After all, if a mailman and a gangster dog that charged him at first sight can find their happily ever after, there's probably hope for everyone else too. Hey, there you go, so again this dog.
Jamie Flanagan: 8:49
We all got the same owner and the owner passed and and you think what?
David Wright: 8:55
what a tough adjustment for a dog. I mean, we all know we've all had dogs. In fact, little side note we have a new dog coming.
Jamie Flanagan: 9:03
I'll tell you about that a little later.
David Wright: 9:04
But yeah, for a dog to lose their owner, how that messes a pet up to be out of that environment. Not have the same interaction that you had every day for years and years.
David Wright: 9:19
But the great thing is, the dog knew this guy. And it's okay if you're a stranger adopting a dog, that's totally cool, you'll get to is the dog knew this guy. It wasn't like a, and it's okay, if you're a stranger adopting a dog, that's totally cool, you'll get to love the dog. But the fact that these guys, they kind of knew each other already.
Jamie Flanagan: 9:30
It's just a bonus, yeah, and it's just great. It's a great story.
David Wright: 9:34
It's a great story, definitely winner of the week.
Announcer: 9:44
That's how winning is done.
David Wright: 9:47
Yes, it is so back to it so speaking of good stories and things that make you feel good laughter, Laughter is the best medicine.
David Wright: 9:59
That's the old saying, and when I thought about doing this episode, I I knew I wanted to do it, but but it's, it's it's. It's easy to take this lightly and see it as kind of a I don't know kind of trite and cliche, but but it's not, cause I'm going to give you some information. So here's the thing is can you relieve stress from laughing? The answer is absolutely yes. When it comes to relieving stress, laughter does it. And again it goes back to the old saying laughter is the best medicine, and it is. So. Here's the thing. There's a lot of anecdotal studies that have been done about laughter and how it works and what it does, but the big thing is that when you laugh, you're engaging your whole physiology. As you laugh, your stomach is involved, your whole GI tract, your mouth. It's a whole body experience.
Jamie Flanagan: 11:02
People say I laugh till it hurts. Yeah, exactly Because it's like doing crunches Right right. I laugh till it hurts. Yeah, exactly Because it's like doing crunches Right right At some point your stomach's hurting.
David Wright: 11:10
And again back to hypnosis shows for a minute. There's a part in my routine where I will say to people, anything I say becomes hilarious to you. Now the thing is, it doesn't matter what I say, but then I'll see if I can get a clip of this, jamie, because I've made this one and I like to say I'm original in most things. But it's hard with hypnosis because most routines have been done before, but this one I've come up with. I've never seen anybody else do it. But then I tell this tragic story about how I was injured and I lost my dog, like a country music song.
Announcer: 11:43
And these people.
David Wright: 11:45
Everything I say is just terrible and serious and they're cracking up behind me and the audience. The great thing is the audience doesn't know whether to laugh. The audience is just. They're laughing just because it's so. There's such a contradictory message going on. But anyway, so it does.
David Wright: 12:01
So there are a lot of data that is mounting over time about all the positive effects of laughter. So let's talk about it. First of all, some short-term benefits. Like you know, of course it has benefits, but it is broken down to short-term and long-term. It just doesn't lighten your load mentally. It actually makes physical changes in your body. So laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air Because when you laugh you're inhaling and exhaling, whether you know it or not.
David Wright: 12:29
It's not intentional, it's just happening. So it's kind of similar to deep breathing, when somebody might meditate or somebody might just try to just calm themselves down. Laughter is kind of a turbocharged deep breathing exercise and you don't have to think about doing it, because a lot of people who meditate or even do self-hypnosis a lot of times it's hard for you to let go. When you're driving the ship, it's easier to let somebody else drive and you just kind of follow along, but with laughter it's just natural. You don't need a guide to make sure you're doing it right. You're just going to respond to something that's funny and you laugh. It's just a reaction. So definitely it can lighten the load mentally, but it doesn't induce physical changes. Laugh Endorphins are released by your brain. Endorphins are feel-good chemicals. It happens whenever we do anything that we enjoy, whatever that is, and it just makes you feel better. The other thing and this is why this is so effective it's almost like a again like a supercharged meditation, because what happens when you laugh really hard is you're activating your body's stress response. So what happens is when you, when you start laughing, it fires up that stress response and then lets it go when you're done laughing. So it's almost like you've just done this whole meditation program because your body is relaxed, your your your rate decreases and your blood pressure lowers and you just feel relaxed. So and you talk about Jamie, you mentioned before laughing so much it hurts. When people get done with that, they feel great, even though at the time, yes, your stomach could be hurting because you're laughing so much, but the result of that is you just feel better so much. But the result of that is you just feel better. The other thing it does it can stimulate circulation and adds to muscle relaxation.
David Wright: 14:29
Again going back to this meditation thing. So meditation is for your mind, but it's also for your body. And here's the same thing it happens. It stimulates circulation, it relaxes your muscles and it reduces symptoms of stress. It relaxes your muscles and it reduces symptoms of stress. So, simply put, short-term effects are just laugh more, you're going to feel better, even in the short term.
David Wright: 14:51
So let's talk about the long-term effects. So people can say, okay, yeah, I watched a movie today, I laughed myself silly but I still felt like crap an hour later, which I get because moods can change, especially if you're dealing with some sort of mental health challenges like depression or anxiety, things like that. But it's not just a quick fix, it's not just a quick pick-me-up, it's also good for you long-term. So here's where some of the studies have come into play. So some of the studies show that it can improve your immune system. Laughter can improve your immune system. Laughter can improve your immune system. So negative thoughts happen in your body and they bring more stress into your system and they decrease your immunity. So we know by studies and physiology that stress reduces your immune system. Laughter and positive thoughts release neuropeptides that help fight stress and possibly more serious illnesses long-term, if you laugh consistently over time.
David Wright: 15:57
Here's the other thing that I kind of thought about, but I didn't know for sure. But laughter can ease pain because it causes the body to produce its own natural painkillers, which is endorphins that feel good chemical. So if you're in pain, whatever it is now I'm not saying I'm sure there are limits to this and I'm not like go off on a tangent but if, if you have some pain, like like I don't know some, some, some aches and pains, or you're just not feeling great Laughter when you're laughing, you're not even thinking about that. It's like it just disappears for the time that you're laughing. And if you continue to do that over time, of course it's going to help things long term. It increases personal satisfaction as far as your own feelings of self-esteem or stress or relationships.
David Wright: 16:46
The other thing that people kind of poo-poo a little bit is that if you're laughing, people want to be around you. Oh, typically Okay, so you're going to do better in social situations because people like someone who is happy and can laugh. It's just appealing. It's an appealing human interaction because you know the people, jamie, you probably know them. I know them whenever I'm at like a gathering.
David Wright: 17:11
It doesn't matter if it's family or friends or whatever but you always get the person that has to give you their whole life, that whole tragic life story.
Announcer: 17:19
How bad things are and oh, I got this man my back's killing me I got surgery coming up.
David Wright: 17:24
I yeah, it's just it's, it's, it's, but but. But that wears on people and if you're somebody who's smiling and happy and laughing, you're just.
Jamie Flanagan: 17:32
People are going to want to be around you I'm the sniper there with the zinger at the end of it and I get the laugh just exactly perfect, yeah just jump in, get your laugh and jump out. And I usually laugh too and it's like my program director at the radio station is like Jamie, stop laughing on here, because you sound like an idiot.
Jamie Flanagan: 17:49
Oh no, that's, that's the best thing you can do. So I'm always used to like having an entourage and whenever I did radio it was always in a group and like this and you laugh and you talk together, and so when I was DJing music on my own and I'm like saying funny things and I laugh, he's like you're sitting there laughing at yourself. I go, but I'm really really funny.
David Wright: 18:09
No, but that's fine. I'm very, very funny If you think it's funny. That's kind of the whole point of it, you know. Well, I remember using he got fired.
Jamie Flanagan: 18:17
I didn't.
David Wright: 18:18
I mean, I remember listening to morning radio back in the day. Drew and Mike was the big one, but they laughed constantly and they laughed where it was just like three, four minutes of laughing with nothing you know because so, so, so, that's a, that's a good thing to me.
David Wright: 18:35
Um, so we talked about relieving pain, increasing personal satisfaction and overall it's going to improve your mood. It's just going to make you feel better. Now I know people who people who come to me, who come as clients, whether they're dealing with anxiety or depression or some other issues, they don't feel like laughing In their head, they don't have anything that's positive. But what I say to them is I'm like listen, do you have a movie that you love, that makes you laugh? And just a tease, by the way, those of who are listening right now jump ahead. Next episode we're going to count down the top 10, my top 10 funniest movies to go with this episode.
David Wright: 19:15
So hang in there, that's a tease for next episode, but yes, it just improves your mood. It's impossible to feel bad when you're laughing, it just is. And even if it's a 10-second feel-good, it's still something. It's still a change in how you're feeling.
David Wright: 19:34
So you may know some people I probably know a couple that, let's say, they have an underdeveloped or maybe a non-existent sense of humor, that they're just always very surly and bitter and there's just nothing. Like like you know, they could watch monty python and not crack a smile. Sure do you know what I mean? Like somebody like that? But here's the thing if you're, if you, if you're one of those people, maybe you're afraid or maybe recognize that you don't have a great sense of humor. Here's the great thing you can learn, you can develop your sense of humor. You just have to be open to it. All right. So you know, just find a few simple things.
David Wright: 20:15
If you feel like you're somebody who doesn't laugh or you don't enjoy humor or you don't have a sense of humor, just look for small things to make you smile. It could be something on a card that just makes you laugh or giggle or something. Um, you know, I, I go to to media, tv, movies, we all have those things that we love. Yeah, I mean, we could probably list hundreds of shows like the office and that are just comedy. They're just there to make you laugh. That's all it is. That's what it's designed for. And the other thing is, if you can laugh about yourself, that is a huge thing that a lot of people have a hard time doing. They have a hard time laughing at themselves. Most people get very defensive. They get very, very combative if, if, if, they're laughed at. Sure Now, and and I understand that if somebody is laughing at you for for superficial like appearances or or something, but it's okay to, it's okay to make fun of yourself, it's okay to be self-deprecating.
Jamie Flanagan: 21:26
It's great.
David Wright: 21:26
So some comic, the, the self-deprecating thing is some comics whole stick, absolutely, absolutely it is. I I mean, yeah, a lot of people make a living on that. Um, so let me give you some, some other things as far as as if, if you've just wanted, just if you feel like you want to laugh and you just don't know quite what to do, because you can feel that way sometimes.
Jamie Flanagan: 21:48
Sit on a feather pillow.
David Wright: 21:51
Hang out with friends who laugh, hang out with friends who are always funny. I mean, that will just kind of bring you along. Even if you're not the funny one, you can enjoy their humor. Even if you're not the funny one, you can enjoy their humor Honestly, read a funny book, watch a funny show. Well, and here's where I kind of jumped ahead, jamie, because I plugged this in and I actually had a bullet point for this.
David Wright: 22:21
Know what isn't funny, because there's nothing worse when something's not funny and you laugh at it. But here's the catch here. No-transcript. One of the people I worked with, one of my coworkers. Her father passed away so we went to the funeral, but we worked in a team. There were five or six of us that worked together every day. I was the master's level clinician, we had a couple of bachelor's level, we had an admin and we had our supervisor group. We always had fun, we always went out to lunch and laughed and and just had a great time.
David Wright: 23:05
But at this funeral, unfortunately, I don't know if it was a look, but but I got the giggles oh, oh, no, right in the midst of the service, oh no, to the point where I actually had to leave oh my fake cough and in the other people they were also going through it, but it was so bad and when you're trying to hold it, that's the worst it just takes you over.
Jamie Flanagan: 23:32
Laughing at a funeral.
David Wright: 23:34
And I know it's not appropriate, and actually the woman who I worked with, whose father died, actually told her after the fact and she was fine with it because she knew me, she knew I would never just I'm not going to laugh at somebody's expense, but again, know what isn't funny? There are certain situations. Yes, you probably shouldn't say something, laugh at somebody to make them feel bad or to humiliate them. Yeah, so here's the big thing, what I want people to do with this, and this was a very cursory overview of just kind of your body's reaction to what laughter is. But the thing is and I can say this with sincerity that people who laugh will feel better. People who laugh are happier individuals in general. We will do something in my office where I'll just have somebody. I'll just I'll just say, ok, let's just laugh and just see where it goes. And people once it's kind of the self self driving machine.
Announcer: 24:33
Once it gets started.
David Wright: 24:35
Sometimes it just takes over and it becomes its own thing and at that point you're just at its mercy. But if you're laughing, that's the great thing. So that's what I will do with clients. Sometimes I'll be like let's just laugh for five minutes, I don't care if it's out loud, Just do it to yourself if you want.
Jamie Flanagan: 24:54
So I'll do this thing with my kids.
Jamie Flanagan: 24:56
It's weird, it's hard to do because I teach high school, I do the yearbook and kids have to go get pictures of people. Oh right, yeah, and they stand in front of the locker. Don't stand in front of the locker, Get some depth of field. But the thing is you take a picture of somebody and they're just staring at the camera and then what you need to do, what I tell them to do and it's really hard for a high school kid to say this to another high school kid. You take the picture and you're like all right, you know, you look beautiful today.
Jamie Flanagan: 25:25
Inevitably, people will laugh you snap it right then that second picture, while they're smiling and laughing, because it's natural, yeah, and it's like so, but the kids feel weird about it. You know it works and that second picture is always just so fun. And then you put them side and then we look in class. Then you put them side by side In class we talk about looking them side by side and we'll use the fun one for whatever feature they were trying to write. But it's fun to get them to laugh. They're brighter, they're happier. The eyes are better.
David Wright: 25:52
There's so many things that come together in the face. It does so for those of you out there who are dealing with whatever struggles you're with. Life is difficult sometimes, but make an intention, make a plan to just take some time out of your day and watch something funny or read something funny or just go to whatever your go-tos are the things that you enjoy. So next episode we're going to be talking about movies. But there are books, there's TV shows there are so many things to make you laugh Stand-up comedians. Sometimes I'll just go on to Netflix or whatever, whatever streaming service, and I'll be like who is this? Let me try this one. I'll just try and watch a stand-up comic. I love stand-up comedy.
Jamie Flanagan: 26:38
I hate comedy clubs.
David Wright: 26:40
Yes, because you're wedged in.
Announcer: 26:43
I hate that.
Jamie Flanagan: 26:43
You're just shoehorned in and it's like, but I love the comedians yeah uh. So yeah, I love stand as I'm torn.
David Wright: 26:48
I like going to comedy clubs, but I hate going and being wedged in yeah, and at some point they get to the point where you don't have to be wedged in if they're you know, yeah. So I'm trying to think what I've seen live, uh shoot. I've seen this is going way back. I saw jay leno do live stand up. I've seen bill marr do his stand up. I've seen, uh, ah, there's so many.
Jamie Flanagan: 27:08
