Episode notes
We need hugs as humans because we are wired for connection, physically, emotionally and neurologically. Touch is our first language, it releases oxytocin, it can regulate our nervous systems. Hugs can bridge the gap between words and help us feel bonded to others.
This podcast is another vulnerable account of a grieving human in search of a feeling not a relationship.
