Ep 87: Understanding Interoception: The Mind-Body Disconnect

Join Julie and Ginger in speaking to Occupational Therapist, Kelly Mahler about Interoception and the body-mind disconnect.

Kelly teaches that as caregivers and educators, we should be curious without expectation of a response from the children we work with.

She also explains that we all have different internal experiences; our first step is to believe others and their experiences.

Kelly tells us that before we start working on helping and healing the body-mind connection, we really need to work towards a place of regulation and help that person feel safe in their body and environment.
