How did you find out about this ?!

Hey Everyone,

In my short journey within the cuddleverse I have met some truly amazing souls. Learned a ton and continue to do so.
I feel “cuddle therapy,” transactionally or otherwise is still largely a best kept secret!

So what am I asking and how did I get here ?! I found myself within the world of professional cuddling by referral from a friend. Initially I was intrigued and also skeptical but I’ve come to know that platonic cuddling has been for many, myself included, life changing!

So back to my question for YOU, the reader of this post. I would love to know how you came to find this platform or even just cuddle therapy on any platform or in any capacity.

I am considering creating an Instagram page with a greater goal of promoting the largely unknown benefits of cuddling to health and well being. I am open to any suggestions, networking, advice and feedback either by direct messaging or answering or sharing on this post.

Big thanks in advance ! 😊✌️

Emily

    Radio interview with a cuddler. A, "WTF?" Then Google.

    My cousin told me about CuddleComfort after saying my want for a 350lb lumberjack to gently crush me for an hour sounded like I might be a bit touch starved, and might benefit from some platonic cuddling...

    "Touch starved??"... "Platonic??"... so I looked up Cuddle Comfort, made a profile and have been here since. To date, it remains the only social platform I've really invested any sort of time into too.

    I just typed the word Cuddle and next thing i know, I saw cuddle therapy and I just went from there. This was 3 years ago.

    A friend of mine had been telling me about it and said I would be great at it. Turns out she was right! 😊🤗

    Discovered a professional cuddler quite accidentally and randomly while on my phone one day, can't even remember how. Met her several times.

    Much later, did a google search to see what other cuddlers were out there.

    I had heard about a cuddle therapy practice up in Albany many years ago. Went on Google to see if there was anything closer to me and found this site.

    YouTube then Google.
    First saw a random Tedtalk, then I was recommended videos from cuddle sanctuary and one other cuddler named Janet Trevino, so I hopped on Google and here we are. 😊

  • Nature_Lover_Nature_Lover_

    Hahah so many cool stories and ways we all came to be right where we are.
    @stormydaycuddle thank you for listing the Bill Nye Title as I had previously attempted to find that video !
    @Shake49 I love watching Janet Trevino and the other referenced material on YouTube.

    I discovered my deep need for touch quite by accident - while in a therapy group where the main work was based on Hakomi centered practice of loving presence. When the person running the group retired, I just couldn't find anything like it - but in searching for an alternative I found that there were professional cuddlers who would provide what I needed. I even did a couple sessions with a professional cuddler in my talk therapists office - the cuddler held me while the therapist did EMDR. Being held made it so much easier for me to access traumatic memories and remove triggers around those by replacing them with more pleasant ones.

    @CuddlesByDeep Very cool. You just introduced me to EMDR & Hakomi centered practice. Thanks. Very cool.

    I’m not really sure how I found out about this site, but I’ve been a fan of cuddling most of my adult life. It’s been hard finding people my age who are interested in strictly platonic cuddles, but this site has opened me up to a large online group of similarly minded individuals. :3

  • jedoojedoo

    I typed cuddling in google and found it that way. Not much near me but it's cool that this site exists

  • sunnysideupsunnysideup

    I read an article that shared creepy experiences from some professional cuddlers from a site that no longer exists.Then after googling found CC.

    Went through a traumatic divorce, then got my heart broken by an old friend a year later. Decided all I really wanted was someone to cuddle and watch movies with. Googled how I could find that. Made a profile and haven't looked back!

  • Nature_Lover_Nature_Lover_

    Hahha still loving all the feedback and stories!! Except for @sunnysideup lol, I have some follow up questions for you 🤪
