What if the strongest words in your relationship are the ones you never say? In this episode, I explore the quiet language of touch, eye contact, and being present—and why these signals often build trust and safety more effectively than any perfectly crafted sentence. 

I share the story of Jamie and Claire and how they turned their traumatic histories into a marriage anchored in consent and gentleness. I share research that shows the power of affectionate touch in relationships, and some everyday practices you can use.

I also name the darker side of how unwanted touch, mixed signals, and surface affection can break down trust, and why a distracted hug can sometimes hurt more than no hug at all. 

You’ll get a simple, practical framework for building intimacy through being present: consent first, attention always, and being real over routine. Check out the More Than Words The Power of Touch and Nonverbal Communication in Relationship, episode.
