Wired to Feel: The Neuroscience of Interoception and Embodiment

Course overview

This course brings together some of the most compelling insights in neuroscience, trauma theory, and somatic psychology, and organizes them around a unifying theme: interoception, the sense of the body from within. Most people know interoception as body awareness, but this course goes far deeper, exploring how internal sensation relates to feelings, behavior, and sense of self. Participants will gain not only scientific insight but also a language for phenomena that are often deeply felt but hard to articulate. Whether you are curious about how feelings work, what embodiment is, how presence and touch works in the body, or how posture regulates feelings, this course offers a framework that is both intellectually rigorous and immediately relatable.
