Interoception is an important sensory system that helps us to feel internal body signals like a full bladder, empty stomach, tense muscles or racing heart. Research indicates that our ability to clearly notice and interpret these internal body signals enables us to identify and manage how we feel: Are we Anxious? Getting Frustrated? Hungry? Full? In pain? Needing the bathroom? Interoceptive differences are very common in a variety of children and adults including those with autism, anxiety, depression, sensory processing disorder and “behavioral challenges”. Additionally, trauma has been found to significantly impact the interoceptive experience, making this topic a very important consideration as we collectively move forward from the COVID-19 pandemic. This course will provide an overview of what the latest research tells us about interoception as well as how this sense influences areas such as self-regulation, emotion, behavior and mental wellness. Several evidence-based strategies for assessing and supporting interoception will be shared.
