Show Notes
Social distancing has been the necessary evil keeping us safe from harm during the pandemic, but with no end in sight, you might be really missing the physical touch of another person, whether it be a handshake, a hug and kiss, or sex.
For parents, ensuring their children grow-up with an understanding of positive touch is crucial, and for anyone living alone, the psychological and physical impact of not being able to touch anyone else for an extended period can be severe.
The Quicky speaks to a psychologist and relationships expert to find out what this absence of physical contact is doing to us all, and what we can do for ourselves and others to minimise the long term negative effects.
