October is #ProTouchAwareness month & the theme is trust
Usually we focus on the benefits of touch for the recipient of touch
But I’m going to flip the focus to the benefits for the person giving positive touch

Weaving nurturing touch thro out personal care routines can ease the strain emotionally & physically
A carer this week said that a gentleman always feels reassured calm & trusts his carers to attend to him without resisting saving their backs & lots of stress
#protouchawareness

Benefits of touch for the giver
We become more self aware of needing to regulate ourselves to hold space safely
& these skills spill over into our personal lives helping improve relationships & our own wellbeing

Benefits of touch for the giver
We can experience deep gratitude
It's a privilege to have consent to place our hands on another's body, especially when touch may have been difficult for them for any reason

Benefits of touch for the giver
We experience the positive loop of relational depth with the person we massage
This is underpinned by bio-chemical responses which improve attachment trust & connection between us
