The Touch Deficit: Why We’re Starving for Connection and Don’t Even Know It w/ Kyle Coursey.
In this Lonesome Conversation, Kyle and I explore a hunger most of us don’t know we have — the deep deficit of physical touch in Western culture, where contact gets siloed off into family or romance with nothing in between. He explains how we’re biologically wired for touch as co-regulation, how we convince ourselves we’ve “outgrown” the need, and why you can’t feel the lack until something finally fills it. A reframe of loneliness as, in part, a body starved of the care it was designed to receive.
