Celebrating Human Connections
- As psychotherapist Virginia Satir famously said, We need 4 hugs a day for survival.We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance.
- People of all ages need human touch, and about twelve hugs daily help support emotional growth and overall wellbeing.
- Touch is fundamental to everything we think and feel, how we communicate and bond, and whether or not we catch a cold.
- A word of caution, however – let the reaction of others guide how much you touch them.
- If someone has been physically abused, touching them without permission may increase their stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is human touch so powerful?
It has been found that touch calms our nervous center and slows down our heartbeat. Human touch also lowers blood pressure as well as cortisol, our stress hormone. It also triggers the release of oxytocin, a hormone known for promoting emotional bonding to others.
Why do I crave human touch?
When someone you like touches you in a pleasing way, your brain releases a chemical called oxytocin. Oxytocin is often referred to as the love hormone and it makes you feel great. It encourages bonding between people and boosts social recognition.
