About this episode

This episode explores Interoception, its impact on animal behavior, and treatment strategies to improve it.

Episode 137 – Interoception – The 8 th Sense This episode was inspired by the 3 rd Case Call of "The Behaviour Case Collective" Membership where Dr Amber Batson and I co-presented a case where gastro-intestinal health had a big impact on Behaviour. During this conversation, the idea of Interoception was spoken about, and I thought it would be a GREAT topic to dive into! Interoception is one of the 3 "Hidden Senses" and is essentially a sensory system that provides a dialogue between the brain and the inside of the body. In this episode you will learn: 1. What Interoception is and how it fits in with the other 7 senses. 2. How altered Interoception can affect our patients. 3. How to apply treatment and therapy strategies to improve Interoception. I really hope you find this episode valuable and that it gives you food for thought when assessing your own Behaviour Patients!
