I grew up with a dad that didn’t hug and ‘that was not what blokes did’
You got a handshake and it was only last year he started embracing a hug which shocked me, but it’s nice when I see him now that I get a hug from him!
I embrace a hug more than ever with my closest.
Also a hug can release oxytocin - a hormone that calms your nervous system 🙌🏼
A hug to your closest can go a lot further than just a hug, they might need that embrace more than you think.
