Do you suffer from skin hunger? (Marshallville) - (32)

Do you suffer with feelings of loneliness and depression? Dissatisfaction with your quality of life? Chronic fatigue? Problems sleeping? Stress and anxiety? Starved for human interaction and connection? Maybe you feel like if you're not touched by another human soon, you'll just dissolve... I want to validate whatever it you're feeling right now. It's absolutely normal to hunger for touch. Touch starvation has become an epidemic in our society , causing a rise in mental/physical illness, increased lonliness, and lack of human connection. Touch starvation is a condition that happens when you don’t get as much physical touch as you need... or any at all. You crave contact but can’t interact with others for some reason. It’s also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger. Skin is the largest organ in the body and sends messages to your brain. When you engage in pleasant touch, like a hug or cuddling, a great massage... your brain releases oxytocin, a chemical which induces positive, loving feelings. Human touch is a huge part of how we interact with others. We shake our co-workers’ hands, hug our loved ones, and high-five our homies. We bond through physical touch. Touch is not only the 'mother of all senses' (according to Dr. Tiffany Field, but also necessary for optimal health and well-being. Healthy touch promotes effective communication and maintains relationships. It activates areas of the brain that influence reactions, physiological responses, and thought processes, and encourages learning and decision-making. When you don’t get enough physical touch, you can become stressed, anxious, or depressed. As a response to stress, your body makes a hormone called cortisol which can cause ill effects for your immune and digestive systems and other medical conditions may get worse. Long-term touch starvation could even trigger post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD.) I don't mention this to incite fear, only to reiterate the necessity of healthy touch. Therapuetic Touch is a pleasant and powerful therapy that helps you connect to your inner source of vibrancy and life force, making it available to shift physical, emotional, and mental dysfunction to health and well-being. My practice works on the principle that our physical body and life experiences are informed by the energies that exist in our energy field, and any imbalances or blocks in our energy field can contribute to emotional challenges, physical pain or illness, limitin' life patterns, and other unwanted conditions in a person's life. It can support and help ease emotional and spiritual distress and mental anxieties - that are the root cause of most physical discomforts... and bring to the surface issues, one is often unaware of at a deeper level, that need to be dealt with. The energy works at a cellular level and so supports any changes a client seeks to make. In the years that I have been practicing, I have seen it benefit clients in numerous ways, such as finding courage and strength to stand up to and face fears, ability to cope better with grief, gain more confidence, create self-awareness, set and maintain healthier boundaries, experience positive shifts in their attitude and way of thinking and feeling, and enrich relationship with self and others.
