Physical closeness is one of the most fundamental human needs. From birth, we seek warmth, touch, and presence. These signals tell the body: you are safe .
When we hold someone—or something that feels like it's holding us—the nervous system reacts immediately. Tension decreases, breathing slows, and the feeling of safety increases.
This is precisely why physical proximity plays a crucial role in emotional safety. It's not a luxury, but a biological foundation.
Hugsback taps into this instinct. The hug provides constant, warm pressure that soothes the body and mimics a feeling of closeness—even when no one is around.
Why proximity is so powerful
- it lowers stress hormones
