Most of us are aware of our five senses (touch, smell, sight, taste, hearing), but we also have proprioceptive (spatial), vestibular (movement), and interoceptive senses. Interoception is our awareness of our inner body sensations, our ability to monitor what we are sensing ie. hunger, pain, joy, etc. Saga Briggs in her book, How To Change Your Body, makes the argument that many mental health disorders are related to a dysregulated sense of interoception, impaired body awareness, low body trust, disconnection from bodily signals, and are interpersonal in nature.
