- Interoception, Explained
Interoception is the sense of your body’s internal state — heartbeat, breath, hunger, tension, gut feelings — and the brain’s interpretation of those signals. It matters because the brain uses bodily signals as raw material for emotion: how you read your inner state shapes what you feel and how well you regulate. The core science is real and active; the skill of sensing internal signals accurately (and not catastrophizing them) can be trained and supports emotional regulation. - Reading the body as a self-knowledge instrument
