So don't underestimate your senses. There are touch receptors all over your body that are specifically tuned to encode affectionate embraces, kind of petting kind of response. And when those, those embraces are registered, two things happen. There's typically an automatic release of stress fighting chemicals that helps instantly bring your negative mood down. And there's also a conscious reminder, particularly when it's someone else who's doing the touching, that there are people who care about us.
