Touch Hunger

Touch hunger: The feeling when the skin craves touch. Just as the stomach craves food and the lungs crave air, the skin needs pleasant touch. This book is about the connection between caressing, cuddling and mental health. How does the biology behind it work? Why is touch such a taboo? What happens when there is a chronic lack of cuddling? And most importantly, what can be done about it? Cuddle therapy is being studied as a solution to some of our civilization's diseases (depression, burnout, loneliness). What does it do, and whom can it help? "Help yourself" is the best motto. That's why in this book you'll find instructions and suggestions for self-cuddling when your skin feels hungry.
