There was this formula: that you could do comedy about your life experiences to an audience that understood you in a safe and healthy environment and build a community around it, so that you could carry on, you know, learning and growing from that.
Can laughter really be a part of the recovery process? In this episode of the Soberoso podcast, host Dora Gosselin chats with Lizzie Allen, a comedian and the brilliant mind behind Hilarapy, a therapy program that uses comedy as a healing tool. Lizzie opens up about her own struggles with addiction and how she found solace and strength in the world of stand-up comedy.
Her story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding joy and community in the most unexpected places. During their conversation, Dora and Lizzie discuss the unique challenges of staying sober during the pandemic and the critical role that community support plays in recovery. Lizzie's approach to therapy is refreshingly different - she believes that sharing our stories and finding humor in our experiences can be incredibly therapeutic.
She explains, 'there was this formula: that you could do comedy about your life experiences to an audience that understood you in a safe and healthy environment and build a community around it, so that you could carry on, you know, learning and growing from that'. If you're curious about how laughter can aid in recovery or just need a dose of inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
