Use Touch to Soothe

Use affectionate, mutually desired touch such as embraces, skin-to-skin contact, or rubbing someone's back to soothe stress.

1 / 1

The comfort that we experience, the release of stress fighting chemicals that occurs when affectionate embraces are registered. That continues throughout the lifespan. So if my daughters... If I know they're having a bad day, I'll go over and I'll rub their back in a totally un-creepy way.
