In an increasingly intangible, distracted, and disconnected world, The Touch Library invites you to reacquaint yourself with your body through physical touch. Touch can be sensual, healing, or comforting, but it is also one of the simplest ways we have to regulate your nervous system.
However, when our nervous systems are overtaxed by stress, trauma, or negative past experiences, touch can feel inaccessible. We might forget its importance, shy away from it, or be overwhelmed by the idea of connecting with our body again.
Within these pages, you’ll find gentle exercises to get you out of your head and back into your body. The exercises are designed for use either alone or with a partner. Accompanied by Elaine Siemek’s inspiring photographs, and written with consideration for neurodivergent minds and all types of bodies and relationships, this book offers a tool kit for anyone seeking a deeper connection to themselves and others.
