Interoception is commonly known as the eighth sense. It's the mind-body connection, or the ability to recognise and respond to what is happening to us physically. Good interoceptive awareness is vital to physical and emotional regulation, yet it is so instinctive to most of us we don't know how to teach it to those for whom it is a challenge. This practical and enlightening book aims to demystify interoception and explain how to support children and adults who find this aspect of self-awareness difficult.
