Practices that may help

  1. 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.
  2. Build interoceptive literacy — reading your body before it escalates
    Learn to notice body signals early so neuroception’s output becomes legible before it becomes overwhelming.
