    I am a massage therapist and this video almost brought me to tears. I get SO touched out and feel like I don't have enough space for my wife and her touch needs. She is supportive when I need space but it is very difficult to navigate since my job is literally being paid to touch.

      Touch her or someone else will. That's usually the way it works.

    Im feeling this with both my kid and husband. I started to cry because I felt so bad about feeling this way. 😢

    I'm a Professional Massage Therapist, and this is SO VALUABLE! I feel like I've been following you all this time just so this video could find me. I appreciate your tips, they help me understand what is going on. Because not only am I touching people All. Day. Long. I'm nurturing them and being present for them...and so needing that time alone to recharge always made me feel badly. I get home, and it's like, "I literally cannot have anything need my attention right now." But my husband has been alone in a cubical staring at a screen...so it's been a challenge to figure this out. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sharing with all my massage therapist friends!

    1) This video is great. Thank you!
    2) Is there music playing in the background? I sincerely thought there was a squeaky dryer running in the background until I turned it all the way up. 🤣

      ​@dinaregalado2458 Why do you think we are like that? Maybe there's no reason, it's just the way we are. If there is some reason, for myself at least, I'd like to figure it out. My boyfriend takes it as rejection and I don't ever want him to feel that way. It's nothing against him. And it's not like I don't *ever* want to be touched. There are times when I absolutely love cuddling (as long as it's not when I'm trying to fall asleep lol) and other times I just can't stand being touched. What are your guys' thoughts??

    Oh this is so relatable. When you are taking care of all the household/child chores AND working full time, it's easy to get burnt out. I agree that alone time is absolutely what helps. I tell my partner I am going to take a bath and lock the door so unless there's a fire let me have a few minutes to myself 😂

    I’m not “not touched out” but I hate when my significant other gripes me.

    Super helpful video, I can relate to this so much as a mom of two. Thankfully I also work part time outside the home, and my husband is a stay at home dad one day a week! So I think we both know this feeling of being “touched out.” But especially me lol. I want to check out the workbook too, these years of having young children have really been challenging for us, and we could use tools to help us be more on the same the page.

    Its really strange. No kids for me but its more emotional or a trauma memory.

    My issue is after 20 years how do I get him to stop acting like a caveman and stop groping me, he literally knows no other type of intimacy it’s boring aggravating and emotionally draining I’m so sick of it
