Dr. Stone Kraushaar is a clinical psychologist and therapeutic coach who discovered the transformational power of hugs, and the difference they can make for each of us individually and globally. Fondly known as "The Hug Doctor," he professes there really are no strangers - we all share a profound connection - The Hug Doctor wants each of us to live a life full of joyful hugging that includes hugging ourselves, hugging our families, hugging our friends and hugging the world. He teaches people how to do that literally and metaphorically. An advocate for longer hugs, more meaningful and inspirational hugs, he defines a hug as any positive, healthy, and connective energy that brings acceptance, healing and peace. It is his joy to explore and teach his pioneering discoveries in his new book Hug Therapy. You will catch him on 21-day hugging journeys and inspiring others about what is created together within the ‘space of a hug.’ Dr. Stone graduated summa cum laude from the University of Denver with his BS degree and earned his master’s degree and doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Denver. His American Psychological Association (APA)-approved psychology internship was at the UCSB Student Health Services at the University of California-Santa Barbara. He completed his post-doctoral work at Yale student health services. He lives, works, teaches and plays in St. Louis, Missouri.
