Let me explain before you all come for me 🤣
Being touched out is a feeling most mothers think they have. When we are constantly needed for comfort, support and sometimes a plaything. That feeling of someone always wanting a little piece of you even when there doesn't feel like much of yourself is left.
This is a valid feeling and so common. I see this daily in myself with my x2 kids. I see this everyday in my post-natal work and even in my relaxation classes. Where the physical shutdown has happened. Where sitting alone in a car sounds like a luxury escape.
But it's not about being touched out, its about not having the right kind of touch. The nurturing care that's focused on YOUR needs. Touch that calms the sensory overload, that wispers to your nervous system that it's time to let go. A gentle foot rub at the end of the day, someone stroking your hair and releasing tension from your scalp and neck. Even a shoulder massage if your partner is willing.
Being "touched out" is your bodies way of telling you it needs more. Nurture your body and let over stimulation drift away. Find your zen. ✌️
