A human touch can soothe a lot of jittery nerves. People believe that healing and calming can be achieved by simply sitting close to someone you love. Research seems to indicate that neurons actually respond positively to human touch in anxiety-evoking situations. The researchers saw positive proof on an MRI of how dramatically human touch can even blunt physical pain and the anticipation of it. So, when faced with a threatening encounter of any type, make sure you have someone to hug or hold you beforehand. It's not a prescription, but seems like sound advice for people with close relationships.
