hugs therapy

We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth
—Virginia Satir, family therapist

Yeah, it does sounds weird, huh?

Reaching out and touching someone, and holding him tight—is a way of saying I care. Its effects are immediate: for both, the hugger and the person being hugged, feel good.

Somehow I find myself having some similarities with the untalkative bunny friendly friend but for me, only selective individual.

Oppss, got scooped out…

Wee?

I joined this when I was in Japan

I don't think they are in Malaysia.

I gave out free hugs to drunken stressed out Japanese. I felt great! Maybe I should start something similar here...
