Description
Touch Is Really Strange Graphic Medicine by Steve Haines explores the complexities of touch and its power to shape our perception of the world. Through a science-based graphic comic, this book reveals how slow touch can convey more powerful emotions than fast touch, and how it helps us feel real. Touch plays a crucial role in forming our concepts about the world, with knowledge coming through our body as we engage with space and others. The book celebrates the power of inward touch (interoception) and examines how skilful contact can promote feelings of joy, connection, and vitality. By understanding the complexities of touch, we can harness its potential to change pain and trauma, communicate compassion and love, and generate social bonding. This graphic medicine comic provides a unique perspective on the importance of touch in our lives.
