I understand. I worry that I handle mine too much (a couple times a week). I've cut back a lot since I've had him (I used to check on him every day and pick him up to make sure he hadn't pooped/peed) but I didn't know if there was an agreed upon "safe time." For you it sounds like the handling is therapeutic; which is great as long as the snake isn't suffering because of it (doesn't sound like it).
