Phew! You finally cleared those puppets out of the studio!

Probably need to spray the studio

Type your philosophical questions on the comments board and the girls on fire will relay them to Adam and get his response. Example: Why is water wet?

Hi Kimzilla and Emily!!!!
I'm listening, but you're competing with the Mets in extra innings. If they lose, I might just need a cuddle ;)

We understand Jim.

Ken From Hyde Park:

Do you think the logical extension of the business might be a service offering showers / baths with clients?
Avatar 7:12pm
kimzilla:

@Ken I wish they offered that in the studios of WFMU

Hi Janet! Welcome!

Connection!

these have been great already!

jim:

hi Emily and Kim it don't sound as scary as i thought i would
  7:26pm
Emily:

Well, not won over in the sense of wanting to do it myself--but I will say my attitude has been won over, at least in terms of professional cuddling in general. For other people.
Avatar 7:27pm
kimzilla and Emily:

Janet, you and Jim were so in sync, which is amazing since we did the interviews separately.
  7:28pm
Kate:

Our brains perceive people and things that are within our arms reach differently from people and things that are beyond our arms reach. We actually use different parts of our brains to perceive those things.

Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

It's so difficult to explain it. Yes. It's powerful.
Avatar 7:28pm
kimzilla and Emily:

Hi Jim, you sounds great on the radio!
  7:28pm
jim:

Emily I think professional or otherwise cuddling is a better know that we know what it can do
  7:29pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

@ken from Hyde Park... science is using animals & drugs. The human touch is irresistible.
Avatar 7:29pm
kimzilla:

@Kate, so, are you as adverse to a strangers touch as Emily is. How has she never had a massage??
  7:29pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

And for the average Jane & Joe, too!
Avatar 7:29pm
kimzilla:

@Janet and irreplaceable.
  7:30pm
james f:

how old is Adam?
  7:30pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

@emily, are you not being won over? Lol
  7:31pm
Kate:

I don't think I could do it, but I do think it can heal in a way that other therapies can not.
Avatar 7:32pm
kimzilla:

@James, I think he mentioned he was in his 50's, but the client, is Jim, he is in him early 60's.
  7:32pm
Kate:

I don't think Emily has, but I have a massage therapists I visit every other week.
  7:32pm
Emily:

I agree with what Kate said! Exactly.
@Janet: haha I'm totally won over with it being a powerful, legitimate, wonderful therapeutic technique. 100%.
But...I still don't think I can do it myself!
  7:32pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

Ha! Sorry for my delay in response. #refresh is important. Hahahahaha
  7:33pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

@james f, I think in his 40s.
  7:33pm
james f:

thanks
  7:34pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

I'm so happy to hear Jim & I were in sync. Even across the country w different Cuddlists, the intention is the same!
  7:35pm
jim:

Danielle is an awesome human being and she is the critical ingredient, people who put themselves out there for connection with isolated people like the rest of us.
  7:36pm
Kate:

Massage is magical for me. Touch at arms length. Safe but soothing.
  7:36pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

@emily, i completely agree not everyone can do this! It takes some very special qualities. And thankfully... keeps us working! Lol.
Avatar 7:37pm
kimzilla:

I found that the people that were a little weirded out by this, may not be the audience they are looking for. Those that may need healing, touch, going through pain, or simply the human touch is who needs this.
  7:37pm
jim:

Kate I love massage too. but this is a level of giving I never felt before
  7:37pm
Emily:

@Janet well, I'm glad people like you ARE doing it. It's really important, valuable work. I know you're making a huge difference in the lives of others.
  7:38pm

Kate:

Remember the experiment with baby chimps who lost their moms? The one that had a stuffed animal substitute mom survived, but the one given a mom made of chicken wire died. Even though both received the same amount of food.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:40pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Do you have many clients looking for help getting through a grieving period? Someone who lost a loved one, for example? (Was away for a bit, so sorry if this was discussed already.)
  7:40pm
Emily:

@ Kate: yes!!!
  7:40pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

Yes. We don't grow out of our need for touch! Babies need it. Adults do, too!
  7:41pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

@ken, yes. The most difficult for me was a father whom lost his 20 yo daughter. Never did recover.
  7:41pm
Kate:

Jim, you are brave. There is a level of intimacy in cuddling that is scary to me when I think about doing it with a stranger.
  7:42pm
slowbear:

thanks for your work, janet

Old Dave:

A little weirded? This is the definition of weird in 2017. Prolly.
Is it a pretentious short cut to professional therapy or something worse?
And the Vets must be drug in to prove it is valid?
  7:43pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

@kate, thankfully we're professionals. ;)
And my clients lose that feeling of being strangers within a few minutes
  7:44pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

@old Dave, we collaborate w therapists!
  7:44pm
jim:

Kate I understand completely...but it is the fact that another person who is not invested in you and a relationship with you will connect with you freely is the greatest surprise. We are in a different world if we can give and take with strangers
  7:44pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

@old Dave, Vets come in willingly! Needing this!
  7:45pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

@slowbear, thank you!!
  7:45pm
Kate:

Janet, I believe that. Looking back on my own life I remember times when I was in very deep pain and I think, if I'd had access to professional cuddling at those times, I might have chosen it.
  7:46pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

First session... embarrassing!!
Avatar 7:46pm
kimzilla:

Lol, this is a funny story. I had to keep it in!
  7:47pm
Kate:

Jim. Wow. Yes.
  7:48pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

I've never told anyone publicly before. Your exclusive!
  7:48pm
Kate:

Janet. You are very brave too.

Old Dave:

Janet, that's great. And apparently we ALL have PTSD.
I'm learning here, understand.
Don't think the guest is surprised by the erection.
Isn't it all about the quest for insurance money?
  7:49pm
jim:

old Dave having invested in years of therapy this is no short cut nor is it a pretense. You learn about how people can't relate and connect without packing years of freudian baggage. this is about re learning things we forgot how to do not sub conscience conflicts
  7:54pm
Kate:

Radical trust. Wow. Opening my mind here.
  7:55pm
jim:

Janet that was awesome
Avatar ♥ 7:56pm
Old Dave:

Jim, that is nice. Unless you are living alone, like 60% of Americans. Then I say you have made things
worse for yourself and the rest of us.
Why? I think because you consider pets and radio shows the same as living in a relationship with actual factual humans.
  7:57pm
Kate:

Emily, good observation. I do think its about a lack of physical touch.
  7:59pm
jim:

Old Dave I don't know about that but I live with wife and kids and have friends too. I feel better.

Nice show today. A trip down an avenue I hadn't considered before. Thanks, all! www.cuddlist.com

Old Dave:

Shocking! And thanks...
  8:01pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

Thanks Ken!

And I'm happy we're no longer weird & creepy! Lol
  8:02pm
Janet Trevino, Cuddlist in San Antonio, TX:

And look us up! We have Cuddlists all over the country!

And if you're love language is not touch, make sure you ask for love in the way that works for you!
  8:05pm
Kate:

So all the therapists on cuddliest.com are women. Do men do this?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:07pm
melinda:

There was a man cuddlist at the beginning.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:08pm

Or maybe he was just the owner of the biz?
