My Journey to Professional Cuddle Therapy

 

 

Allow me to take you on a journey through the twists and turns of life that led me to the unexpected path of professional cuddle therapy. It all started with a marriage where I was left feeling completely alone, one that lacked the spark of physical intimacy, and ultimately led to a heartbreaking divorce. As if that wasn't tough enough, my kids were growing older, and our sweet, loving cuddles were slowly becoming a thing of the past, leaving me feeling empty and lonelier than ever before.

 

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why I felt so down. I always thought I was someone who valued quality time, and my kids and I still spent plenty of wonderful time together. But after some soul-searching, I realized that what I hungered for the most was physical touch. It was like a lightbulb moment – my heart's deepest longing was for the solace that can only be found in the embrace of physical connection. It was like a missing puzzle piece finally fitting into place. All this time, I thought I just enjoyed spending time with others, but what I was actually yearning for was their touch: to be held, cuddled, or even offered a simple, sincere hug. Now I know my primary love language is, in fact, physical with quality time coming in as a close second. 

 

Now I had the understanding, but I wasn’t quite sure what to do with the information. I was not at all ready to dive back into the dating scene. The thought of dealing with unwanted advances or pressure for something more than just a cuddle was a big no for me. I wanted something genuine, empathetic, and strictly platonic. That's when I stumbled upon an online community of like-minded individuals, all seeking the same comforting embrace.

 

Being part of that community opened my eyes to the possibility of turning my love for platonic touch into something more. And so, Cuddle Care Center was born. It's still a work in progress, but every day I work hard to spread the word and connect with more people who could benefit from a comforting cuddle.

 

My faith is very important to me, and as someone who strives to follow the teachings of Jesus, I see this work as an extension of love and compassion. He urged us to love one another, and this is my way of answering that call – offering a safe haven for those seeking solace and connection. 

 

Now, let's address the elephant in the room – the misconceptions. This isn't about anything sexual; it's purely about human connection. There are strict rules in place to ensure everyone feels safe and respected. I never cross any boundaries, and I have zero tolerance for any behavior that crosses those boundaries. Clients are made well aware of that from the get-go, and if a client ever makes me feel uncomfortable, I maintain my right to end the session immediately.

 

I just want people to understand the toll that a lack of physical touch can take on someone. I know all too well as I have experienced it first hand. It's not just about feeling lonely; it can affect your mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. We all need that connection, that reassurance that we're not alone in this world. We're wired for connection, and denying ourselves that can have serious consequences. So, if you're ever in need of a hug or just a listening ear, know that there's a safe space waiting for you at Cuddle Care Center. Let's embrace the power of platonic touch together!
