Interoception & Addiction Recovery

In this video, we explore a critical yet often overlooked aspect of addiction recovery—interoceptive awareness, your ability to sense and interpret internal body signals like tension, hunger, emotions, and cravings.

If you’ve ever felt like relapses or compulsive behaviors "come out of nowhere," poor interoception might be the hidden culprit.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

What is Interoception? How your brain reads internal signals—and why this skill is vital for emotional regulation, impulse control, and relapse prevention.

The Brain-Body Connection: The role of the insula and other brain regions in craving, reward, and self-awareness.

The Link Between Interoception & Addiction: Why people with eating disorders, food addiction, and substance use often struggle with interoceptive awareness—and how this fuels the cycle.

Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT): A science-backed method to rebuild interoceptive skills, reduce cravings, and improve emotional regulation.

Hope for Change: Learn how body awareness can be strengthened.

If you’ve tried to quit bingeing, overeating, or substance use but keep hitting roadblocks, this video is for you. Recovery isn’t just about willpower; it’s about rewiring your brain-body connection.
