Empathy and Touch
Empathy and Touch
H/T David Amerland
Interpersonal touch has important social and affective meanings. Skin-to-skin touch is necessary to the development of premature infants. It contributes to the regulation of stress responses in adults, enhances trust, and provides comfort and emotional wellbeing. So while it’s unlikely that this research solves the problem of painkillers, it does propose a very simple pain treatment with an indispensable side effect: connecting with other people.

Our Connection With Others Changes Them, And Us
There is a deep neuroscientific basis on why we need others and what impact we have on them and they on us. In this admittedly short article there are some links to relative research and studies that I would urge you to follow.
As evidence mounts that interactions make our brains sync and our thoughts occupy a very similar space, our activities in socio-technical platforms (like this one) begin to take on a different color entirely. #thesnipermind #intent #responsibility

Coach G Moore Thanks. I think it is horrific that teachers (and staff) can't touch children. So weird. Kids hug...a lot. So glad I worked with kids in "the old days" when natural communication was not moderated by fear.
ReplyDeleteThe Greek word hapto used historically for touch also means to ignite #NLP
