Episode 137 – Interoception – The 8th Sense

This episode was inspired by the 3rd Case Call of "The Behaviour Case Collective" Membership where Dr Amber Batson and I co-presented a case where gastro-intestinal health had a big impact on Behaviour.

During this conversation, the idea of Interoception was spoken about, and I thought it would be a GREAT topic to dive into!

Interoception is one of the 3 "Hidden Senses" and is essentially a sensory system that provides a dialogue between the brain and the inside of the body.

In this episode you will learn:

1. What Interoception is and how it fits in with the other 7 senses.

2. How altered Interoception can affect our patients.

3. How to apply treatment and therapy strategies to improve Interoception.

I really hope you find this episode valuable and that it gives you food for thought when assessing your own Behaviour Patients!
