Unlock the hidden sense of interoception—a revolutionary self-help paradigm for readers of The Body Keeps the Score and Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve

Discover how an invisible part of your nervous system shapes your mind, body, and emotional life—embodied exercises and neuroscience-backed tools to tune into your body’s signals, heal your nervous system, regulate your reactions, and transform your sense of self

Your inner sense—your interoceptive awareness—is the hidden eighth sense that sends messages between your brain, your body knowledge, and your environment. This powerful—but mostly unknown—superpower helps your nervous system interpret information, make sense of the world, and discern safety from “danger.”

When interoception is working well, it gives you crucial clarity, emotional wisdom, and gut-level insight into nearly every aspect of your life. But what happens when trauma, chronic stress, illness, and attachment wounds disrupt our nervous systems? How do we know if our wires are crossed? How do we heal?

Listening In is your guide to the interoceptive sensory system and its unseen but vital cues. Through clear and accessible explanations, relatable case studies, and evidence-based somatic practices, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand what interoception is, how it works, and why it has the power to help us heal
• See how early attachment wounds, chronic stress, trauma, and cognitive distortions interfere with how your mind makes sense of—or trusts—your body’s signals
• Integrate the body into whole-person healing with practical exercises that build agency and self-awareness
• Make sense of the common links among mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, chronic pain, C-/PTSD, eating disorders, and emotional dysregulation
• Cultivate inner trust, clarity, and body-based wisdom after trauma, illness, or a life-altering rupture

This book is for you, whether you’re a therapist, trauma survivor, or self-help reader looking for new tools to heal and thrive. Research-backed practices—informed by somatics, neuroscience, trauma therapy, and a unique interoceptive body-signal framework—to help you strengthen emotional regulation, calm your nervous system, disentangle your mind-body wiring, and rebuild trust in your body.
