I had a traumatic brain injury 23 years ago and I had a catastrophic brain injury that I am continuing to recover from to this day. For some reason, I developed a “superpower “in my body in a very active interception. …(at the same time, my proprioception was greatly injured. My physiotherapist, osteopath chiropractor and massage therapist are all amazed at how aware I am of my internal organs. I can even described what area is injured or inflamed .. plus I can describe what it should feel like rather than the pain that I’m feeling upon their touch ..I even knew that my heart was off its axis. Presently I am struggling with an injury to my C3 and C4. As a prenatal educator I noticed that it is becoming a challenge to do diaphragmatic breathing…… which I have practised over the last 40 years. It feels like my diaphragm is struggling to activate and then to relax. I recently asked my medical professionals if that part of the spine could affect the diaphragm It turns out that the phrenic nerve passes through C3 C4 and C5. The phrenic nerve controls the diaphragm I actually can feel that the diaphragm is not as mobile as it used to be and I can feel which side is more injured than the other. Have you ever heard of a person with a brain injury who gained this “superpower “

Thank you

Thank you

Monotropism is my current special interest. People here will be able to relate to "hitting the bottom of the well" on UA-cam where people's information starts to repeat each other on our special interest. After about 4 videos that don't bring new information it is time to start more active research.

I've just ordered this! And can't wait for it to arrive (though it will understandably take a while to get to me in Australia). Can't wait to use this with some of my clients!

This video is going to be very confusing to the people who have no idea what interoception is. Without that understanding the parallels have little meaning.

Thanks Kelly ive enjoyed your presentation. I just completed reading The Keeps Score that among other issues along masking

Absolutely wonderful. I was told about you by my daughters OT when I couldn’t understand and map her reactions to certain people and situations. I unknowingly have been using your 3rd tip. When I accepted my daughters neurodiversity, I became curious myself and try to understand and gently ask her to explain her feelings. This has definitely helped her and will surely do for both neurotypical and neurodiverse children who are facing confusion. Keep posting. Thank you and God bless you x

“You’re there to coach them through that, you’re not there to tell them how to feel” I love that!

Holy smokes. Subscribed 🔥 cptsd self healing and chronic pain is priority 1 and its HUGE issue to wrap my mind around. Thankyou 🙏

This is a great video! Thanks for sharing!

I was just talking with a friend about this recently. She has a friend who masked so heavily growing up that she’s very shut down and has no idea how to process how she’s feeling now as an adult.

I hate not being able to figure out if I'm hungry, stressed or anxious, cold, withdrawing from weed, need carbs, if I'm caffinated, tired, overwhelmed, energized. It's all the same intense feeling, like a pit in my stomach. I can't tell what I'm feeling when it matters it seems. Can anybody relate to this?

Where can we get the cards?

This is very good. How do you help caregivers, who may be well intentioneed, stop gaslighting, "fixing" and "helping" instead of holding space around neurodivergent kids and their asynchronous/atypical development?

interoception is not a 6th sense. It's a combination of senses

Wow great Thanks Kelly Trying to find the right ways to advocate for my daughter while she’s struggling with the classroom and her problems not recognised by teachers because she achieves highly academically Thanks for putting these ideas into a simplified style for us I don’t want her to miss out and struggle the way I did at school due to me being dyspraxic

You are one of the best people I've heard talk about this, in that you seem to be trying to do more than give a simple definition. One problem can be that the person is in so much sensory or emotional pain that these may override other sensations. For instance, if I connect with my emotions, that also means acknowledging that my body may be in scream pain. That's a real deterrent! Also, our (autism) emotions may not fit into the neat "emotion" terms that exist in our language. (I had a college-level voc by 10, and have a master's degree and am a writer, so vocabulary isn't the problem). I've found that making up my own compound words for what I'm feeling is helping. Some emotions, for me, come in amorphous shapes; like balls of tangled yarn that have to be consciously addressed and then picked apart. Once the emotions/reasons for the emotions have been identified, then I can assign that complex emotion a name. That has actually helped.

Exactly, that's so different than your first animation about interoception. This is exactly what Lisa Feldman Barrett is telling us about so many topics and for sure feelings and emotions: variation is the norm, population thinking. Watch het excellent lecture about this, which I translated also in Dutch.

Hi! Such helpful info. Wondering what you’d suggest when neurodivergence/interoception AND depression cause the difficulties in feeding? Would an OT and therapist combo work best?

thank you, yes; compliance can be trauma, in itself, as well as teach us to allow others to expect our lack of personal safety for the benefit of others. this causes huge life traumas, as well as CPTSD. thank you for your work, i am grateful.

Identifying emotions, or feelings ? Regulation?

This was so helpful, thank you! I am an OTD student working on a captsone project related to Autism and employment, but it is great to learn about some of these emerging concepts and I'm happy that I'll be graduating at a time where it seems like so much great research is being done to provide better services for this population.

Yay! Cannot wait for this course. I love Naureen's work. When is it likely to be?

Thank you! Such an amazing resource!

Interesting!!!

It is so important to validate children’s expressions of interoceptive feelings, such as tummy aches or any chronic pain. Often adults, including doctors and educators, dismiss children’s expressions of pain and discomfort as anxiety or avoidance. This can lead to an individual dismissing their own feelings and developing a sense of distrust in their own ability to judge how they feel, in my experience as an educator and mom to an adult who suffered from painful chronic conditions.

Thank you Anna! I am teaching it in a school on Vancouver Island. I would love to talk to you about your work!

Thank you for sharing. I think you planted a seed that as years go by will have an impact. You are changing culture!

Fantastic video, so clear, informative, concise. One of the best explanations I've heard about interoception. Thank you so much. It summarised many key concepts for me.

Thank you for the captions. Your name really rings a bell for me, I'm wondering if you were mentioned in a book called Interoception and Regulation? I've saved this video to watch again. As a late diagnosed Autistic person, I know I have interoception issues but I definitely need help to work out what they are and what to do to feel better and more grounded in my body. I feel that a lot of trauma may be trapped inside of me.

interesting. this explains how i frequently forget to eat and drink, even up to 24+ hours at a time. especially when i take my adhd meds. plus this reminds me that i should eat right now.

I used to have a paper with 600 emotion words on it. I practice putting a description to my feelings, when I can. I don't share them, unless it's to my benefit to do so. Sharing is something that Narky Nark Nark looks for.

You are a mom homeschooling your son? Is that correct? You brought in your son's siblings to also learn introception and their bodies? I used to be a Life Skill teacher in public education and have had this knowledge/gut feeling without a name for it. I'm now an Individual Provider with DDA. I have a client that needs needs needs to learn this. I plan to take every training provided by Kelly, as I can afford to. What would you suggest as a starting point for him, his dad and I to start? I currently see him 2x weekly for 2 hours, but may have the opportunity to provide services four days a week. He has been kicked out of school because the staff was not willing to continue with his communication system (that I started with him in my classroom at age 4. he's now 17) and unwilling to help him learn how to calm himself. I appreciate any suggestions you have. Thank you. Patty

“Be curious, not furious” Love that! This is advise I need to use with myself when I’m getting overwhelmed with what’s going on in my body. I’m the kiddo that would have really benefited from educators utilizing this curriculum waaaaaaay back when I was in elementary school. I’m just many decades late in finally getting this education 😊

Does anyone else not know they are sick and then end of throwing up in their sleep? My body can't tell any internal cues 😭

Two words I can think of for the middle school student going into high school are * Adaptive * Resourceful

I have no problem feeling physical sensation like hot, cold, pain, etc.. What good does it do to recognize that the dish water is hot? I still have no emotion about it. The emotions i can feel are: Anxiety, hopelessness, sorrow, hate, rage, and pity.

You highlighted a problem (with egs) but didn't provide any solutions

Thank you for this! Very well said!

Love this Kelly and so agree and I completely support this shift in what we say and how we speak about and to our kiddos. One thing, that I have noticed in my practice too is that parents unfortunately as well don't realize that using words such as manipulative, difficult, attention seeking, defiant (that they might have heard from clinicians) unknowingly tear down a child without truly understanding the child's inner experience and needs. TY for bringing this shift and WORDs and LANGUAGE so matter!!

you're so right

Good video. I came across the concept interoception in the book "Do hard things". By the way some people find "vocal fry" annoying lol.

Hello I just subscribed to your channel after listening to you discuss about polyamory and about cognitive behavioral therapy and I learned a new word interoception from you. I'm not neurodivergent but I have been in the mental health system for several decades and they did not help me because all they did was cognitive-behavioral because that was what my insurance covered and DBT as well and they were always stressing mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy and I kept telling them over and over again about how it just didn't help because they were in my mind instead of in my feelings and mind. That necessitated me to form my own self out process and I really appreciate you being part of it by watching your content. My intuition was correct. Thank you. I felt at the mental health system was missing something and I hope government insurance such as Medicare and Medicaid can catch up and cover this kind of thing not just the most convenient or most cheap source of therapy.

Interesting how Kim says she has to focus to sit still. For me it takes a lot of mental energy to move. I have plenty of physical energy, but it’s mental energy that keeps me from exercising or doing doing chores or getting my butt off the couch. I think it could have to do with poor proprioception, and it takes a lot of mental energy not so much to move but to move in a controlled, orderly manner (and in a way that I don’t injure myself).
