Abstract

Interoception, the awareness of inner body sensations, can be undeveloped and even challenging for individuals with trauma, pain or high stress who may have learned to avoid such experiential awareness. Cognitive neuroscience recognizes the importance of interoception for emotion regulation and health, however few studies have examined how interoceptive awareness may be addressed in bodywork practice.
