"Our bodies are designed to respond to touch, and not just to sense the environment around us...
Touch is something we associate with emotional closeness, and we associate the absence of it with emotional distance. We may not fully appreciate it, but in pre-pandemic life there were literally dozens of small moments of touch throughout the day. ..
