The psychology of a hug - with Lou & Fi

Episode Summary

On this week's episode we talk about why hugs matter so much. As Lou says 'A hug can speak a thousand words.' They communicate those emotions: compassion, empathy, concern, love so simply in a way that sometimes we can't get across any other way.

Episode Notes

We explore the psychological and physiological need for hugs, how hard it has been for many people not being able to hug loved ones during lockdown, the importance of touch from birth to old age and our fundamental need for touch as a means of connection.
