About this Course

Course Description

What sense gives you information about what’s happening everywhere in your body - yet doesn’t have a particular sense organ anywhere in your body?

What sense directly impacts your ability to self-regulate, be aware of your emotions and make wise decisions?

Interoception.

Interoception, the hidden 8th sense that enables us to consciously perceive internal body signals, is critical for healthy day-to-day functioning. When interoception is not working well, it has negative ramifications for everything from self-control to awareness of when you’re hungry (or full) to social tact

Interoception inadequacies are often behind our children’s challenges - and can adversely affect the effectiveness of the therapy or interventions that we provide.

This course is an empowering journey into understanding interoception: how it works, what it affects and how you as a therapist or educator can positively affect its development. We’ll discover the Vagus nerve, the autonomic nervous system foundation for interoception, and explore when and how things can go wrong. You’ll come out with practical applications for assessing children and designing interventions to address interoceptive deficits. 

Interoception: Body Awareness from the Inside Out is a foundational course that will impact every aspect of your therapeutic, educational and other work with children.
