Groups and Classes

Mindfulness and
Interoception
Interoception is our 8th sense. That’s right! We have more than 5 senses. This sense monitors sensation in our heart, lungs, stomach, muscles, etc and relays this information to your brain. Your brain then uses this information as clues to determine current emotion: angry, anxious, excited, etc. Awareness of these important body signals has a tremendous impact on our ability to identify and then regulate our emotions.
This training offers an in-depth introduction and exploration into our 8th sense, the impact of trauma, genetics, and attachment on our sensory system, and how to utilize mindfulness based interventions to effectively navigate clients through some of their most significant trauma symptoms. Attendees will learn how to engage clients in a basic interoception assessment, how to incorporate relevant sensory data into case conceptualization and treatment planning, begin practicing several mindfulness-based tools for trauma-informed intervention, and identify several community resources for additional support in this area.
