Interoception is an important sensory system that helps us to feel internal body signals and research indicates that our ability to clearly notice and interpret these internal body signals contributes to an embodied experience.
Interoception is an important sensory system that helps us to feel internal body signals like a racing heart, growling stomach, or tense muscles. Research indicates that our ability to clearly notice and interpret these internal body signals contributes to an embodied experience. Living in a disembodied world, interoception challenges are very common in many people, but these challenges are also present in people with certain conditions including trauma disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD and autism. This session will provide participants with an overview of what research tells us about interoception as well as a brief discussion regarding evidence-based approaches to nurturing and improving interoception.
