Interoception, Our 8th Sense: The Science of How We Feel
May 26, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
£69Live webinar: 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm, 26 May 2022
A fantastic opportunity to hear international expert and award-winning OT, Kelly Mahler discuss the fascinating interoception system.
Interoception is an important sensory system that helps us to feel internal body signals like a full bladder, growling stomach, tense muscles or speeding heart.
Research indicates that our ability to clearly notice and interpret these internal body signals enables us to accurately identify and manage how we feel: Are we anxious? Getting frustrated? Hungry? Full? In pain? Needing the bathroom? Interoceptive differences are very common, particularly in individuals with trauma and attachment disorders, autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, chronic pain and “behavioural challenges”.
This three-hour webinar 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, emotional well-being and social participation. Several evidence-based strategies for assessing and supporting interoception will be shared.
Open to all, this webinar will be best enjoyed by those with a basic understanding of sensory integration. (You may be interested in SIE’s Introduction to Sensory Integration course.)
Price: £69 for three-hour Zoom webinar. Includes Certificate of Completion and 30-days’ access to the recording of the webinar.
