Shut in at home, no hugs, no kisses, no touch.
That's how this client has been, taking refuge within four walls in these times.
Never in his life had he gone so long without talking to another person, without going out for a walk, stopping at a café for a chat with the waitress, or striking up a conversation in the supermarket queue.
Going out to spend time with friends, greeting them with a hug and a kiss. And, from one day to the next, everything changed.
He recalls, with longing, the hugs that used to be part of his routine and that have now left a void. He never realized how much human touch filled his life, until it disappeared.
His only company has been his dog, and thankfully so, at least he isn't completely alone. He can pet the dog and talk to it, but the absence of friends still weighs on him.
Physically, he feels he's aged considerably in these past few months, between sleepless nights, accumulated stress, and all the tension coming from the news.
He feels starved for touch, both giving it and receiving it.
