Self-soothing with Touch

Today's post continues the topic of self-soothing with the senses, and focuses on touch.  How much we like to be touched by other people can be variable, with some people being very tactile and affectionate, and others quite reserved with a need for a lot of personal space.  We might also enjoy physical contact when we are in some moods but not others.

Fortunately, self-soothing with touch does not necessarily involve physical contact with others.  It may be more about sensations on our skin from nature (e.g. the sun or rain) or from caring for ourselves (e.g. by applying moisturiser or having a shower).


Here are some other ways to self-soothe with touch.
