“Laughter is the Best Medicine”

Dr. Lynne Caesar, Psychotherapist and Leader of the Arlington Laughter Club

Lynn Caesar, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist and a certified laughter yoga teacher and leader. A life long student of herbalism and natural therapies, she is influenced by positive psychology, complementary and alternative medicine, family systems theories, and laughter as a mindfulness practice. A psychotherapist with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families for over 30 years, she has a private psychotherapy practice in Arlington. She has founded and been running the Arlington Laughter Club since October 2004.

Through a lively presentation and experiential laughter exercises, Lynn will invite participants to enjoy the social, physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits of laughter. In this hectic, fast-paced world of cell phones, smart phones, and social networking through electronic communication we need more opportunities to live in the moment, connect with our neighbours, and share laughter and playfulness.

Documented scientific research has found that laughter improves the cardiovascular and immune systems, reduces pain, elevates mood, decreases the negative effects of stress, increases creativity and imagination, and increases social connection. Join us to laugh, play with abandon, and celebrate life and community.
