It’s no surprise that physical touch is an important aspect of relationships – but did you know that it has numerous benefits, including reducing stress, improving bonding, and regulating the nervous system?
So why do so many people struggle with physical touch? (Even when it’s not sexual…)

This episode will help you understand where to start and give you some practical steps for creating a safe space with your partner.
