Send us a text Last week, we uncovered how your child’s behaviour is really their nervous system communicating. Today, we’re going deeper, inside the body, to explore the science of interoception , the hidden sense that helps us feel and understand our emotions. My guest, Laura Petix , is back to break down how learning to tune into your body’s internal signals can transform the way you regulate emotions, set boundaries, and parent with calm. We’ll explore what the research says including new studies showing that people who strengthen their interoception become more mindful, less reactive, and better at managing stress (Zamariola et al., 2019; Smith et al., 2023). You’ll learn: What interoception actually is and why it’s the missing link in emotional regulation How to recognize your own body’s “early warning signs” of overwhelm Simple ways to help your child notice what emotions feel like inside their body What it really means to protect your nervous system (and why that’s not selfish) How to create routines that support regulation for both you and your child If you’ve ever said, “I know the tools, but I can’t seem to use them when I’m stressed,” this episode will show you why and exactly how to change that.
