Self-Regulation and Interoception (Live)

Understanding interoception helps individuals develop self-awareness by recognising and understanding their own physical and emotional states. This awareness allows individuals to better understand their emotions, needs, and responses, leading to improved self-regulation.  In this training, we explore how to help children who struggle with identifying emotions, due to the lack of interoceptive awareness
