And so, Tommy, in the rock opera of the same name, written by The Who, sang to us "See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me. Heal Me." 

I have recently learned that The Who were on to something infinitely more significant than just a catchy tune.

Natalie Robinson Garfield, a noted psychotherapist, teaches us in her book, The Sense Connection just how powerful our senses are in shaping our personal and professional relationships. 

Who knew?

She has developed a questionnaire designed to help you figure out your KATOV. Were you thinking that I had a typo in my subject line? It's your Kinesthetic, Auditory, Tactile, Olfactory, Visual way of navigating the world. If you know "what your dominant sense" is, she conjects, and "how your other senses line up" after that, you will have "a better understanding of what you need" and "how you relate to others." Perhaps, as importantly, she says, is the "figuring out what and how the OTHER person in your life is wired"  so maybe you'll be able to sync your needs and wants more easily.

Cool, huh? 

So the 'look deeply into my eyes' is not necessarily a hypnotists' chant to seduce you into a somnambulist state, but rather the need for visual contact above others. 

I did get a copy of her questionnaire, but haven't answered it yet. But, I will. 

I could, I think, if I understand this correctly, quantify when admitting my flaws that I have scientific proof of what I need, and how much and in what order.
