Comedians use their genius to give us joy, laughter, and even to help us think about things differently.

And yet, those same people who bring so much pleasure often are people who experience deep levels of depression, anxiety, and histories of trauma. 

I have taken great interest in the way comedians think and their lives. And that is why I am so happy to have had the opportunity to speak with a psychologist who specializes in working with comedians. Dr. Ildiko Tabori (https://drildikotabori.com/) is a psychologist in Los Angeles who has many specialties including serving as the resident psychologist for the Laugh Factory, a top-tier comedy club in LA. She has worked with comedians there since 2011 and has been interviewed by the media about her work and I loved learning with her.If you’re a comedy fan or know someone who is, listen and share this episode!
