GET THE KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS YOU NEED TO WORK WITH INTEROCEPTION & TRAUMA!
Despite decades of advances in trauma, emotion, and mental health research, many talking and body-based clinicians still encounter the same frustrating reality:
Clients understand their issues intellectually, yet remain stuck emotionally, physiologically, and behaviorally.
They can name their triggers, describe their histories, and even practice coping skills, but their nervous systems continue to react as if danger, unprocessed emotions, and uncertainty are ever-present. Symptoms persist. Regulation feels elusive. Progress plateaus.
This is not a failure of therapy.
It is a gap in how trauma and mental health issues are addressed.
At the center of that gap is interoception, the brain’s ability to sense, interpret, and respond to internal bodily signals. When interoceptive processes are disrupted by trauma, the nervous system struggles to accurately detect safety, emotional states, and internal cues. This has profound implications not only for regulation and healing, but also for memory processing, consciousness, suicidal risk, dissociation, and clinical decision-making.
Join us for this FREE, live Interoception & Trauma Summit, where leading clinicians will explore how restoring interoceptive awareness and nervous system trust can unlock stalled treatment, deepen regulation, and support clients who feel chronically unsafe within themselves.
You will hear from world-renowned speakers and gain immediately applicable strategies that bridge trauma physiology, interoception, and mental health.

Summit Schedule
Day 1 | Friday, 27 January 2026
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Eastern Time
9:00 AM – 10:25 AM ET
Interoception: Interpreting the Language of Trauma & Recovery for Effective Intervention
Abi Blakeslee, SEP, SMT, MFT, PhD
Interoception, the conscious awareness of internal bodily sensation, shapes how trauma is experienced, maintained, and healed. Shock and developmental trauma are accessed through interoceptive experience and reflected in self-concept. This workshop examines survival and healing states, teaching clinicians to recognize metaphoric interoceptive patterns as nervous system biomarkers, enabling more precise intervention, state change, recovery, and restoration of a coherent self.
10:45 AM – 12:00 PM ET
Healing COMPLEX TRAUMA WITH INTEROCEPTIve INTELLIGENCE
Tracy Jarvis, MSc, UKCP
Complex trauma disrupts interoceptive awareness and accuracy, creating “ background noise” that distorts internal signals of safety, emotion, and need. This workshop draws on contemporary interoception research to build interoceptive clarity and precision. Participants learn to reduce signal noise, accurately track nervous system states where possible, and support restoration of regulation, coherence, and embodied self-connection through experiential practice and applied interoceptive skill-building.
Break: 12.00-1.00pm ET
1:00 PM – 2:15 PM ET
INTEROCEPTION & EXPreSSIVE ARTS: The BRIDGE OF CREATIVE AWARENESS
Jacqueline Compton, RP, RCAT
This workshop offers clinicians practical, research-informed approaches to working with trauma through interoception-informed expressive arts practices, where disrupted internal sensing and implicit bodily memory limit verbal processing. Participants learn to integrate creative and art-based approaches to help clients access, differentiate, and modulate interoceptive signals, restoring clarity, regulation, and coherence. The material supports work with complex trauma, dissociation, and attachment-related challenges within neurobiologically grounded, interoception-informed trauma care.
2:35 PM – 4:00 PM ET
Interoceptive Ownership & Adaptive State Feedback: Integrating Interoception-Based Tracking into Trauma-Informed Care
Kate Truitt, PhD, MA, MBA
This workshop focuses on interoceptive ownership, the degree to which clients can access, feel, and authentically claim adaptive internal states, such as safety, connection, or agency, and explores how this capacity supports trauma-informed clinical change. Grounded in empirical findings on interoception and neuroplasticity, clinicians will learn how to integrate moment-to-moment interoceptive tracking and state-rating routines into treatment in ways that enhance adaptive state embodiment. The focus throughout is on integrating interoception-based feedback through the lens of Brain Partnership to enhance collaborative, trauma-responsive care

9:00 AM – 10:25 PM ET
BEYOND REGULATION: USING INTEROCEPTION TO REFINE POLYVAGAL-INFORMED CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS
Courtney Rolfe, MA, LCPC, SEP
Recent advances in interoception and autonomic nervous system research are reshaping how effective psychotherapy is understood and practiced. This session brings that science directly into the clinical room, demonstrating how interoceptive assessment and practice can significantly enhance existing therapeutic approaches. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory and contemporary interoception research, leading Polyvagal trainer, Courtney Rolfe, bridges brain, body, and nervous system to offer an integrative, evidence-based framework that expands clinical precision, depth, and therapeutic impact for therapists and wellness professionals.
10:45 AM – 12:00 PM ET
EMBODYING ESSENTIAL OPPOSITIONAL TENSIONS: PHILOSOPHY, PHENOMEMOLOGY, & PHYSIOLOGY
Dr. Gordon Barclay, MRCGP, MRCPsych
Following a brief framing of dialectical tension and relational phenomenology, this presentation focuses on physiology and interoception as drivers of lasting trauma change. Building on Bruce Ecker’s concept of mismatch, it examines how embodied experiences of warmth and safety, prior to trauma processing, expand interoceptive safety, creating adequate mismatch that enables deeper reconciliation without triggering entrenched defensive reactivity.
Break: 12.00-1.00pm ET
1:00 AM – 2:15 PM ET
Susan Zinn, LPCC, LMHC, NCC
Neurocardiology of Cardiac Interception in Trauma: clinical implications for emotional & mental health
In trauma work, clients often say, I felt it before I knew it. This session explores why, through cardioception, the science of how heart-based signals shape attention, threat perception, and rapid emotional state shifts. You will learn the neurocardiology behind heart-to-brain communication, and how cardiac sensations can become internal triggers that maintain anxiety, hypervigilance, shutdown, or dissociation. You will leave with practical, trauma-informed tools you can use immediately, including a simple method to separate sensation from meaning and a guided exhale-weighted breathing practice grounded in HRV biofeedback principles. Designed for clinicians who already know the brain, this talk adds the missing heart-based layer that makes interoception clinically actionable.
2:35 AM – 4:00 PM ET
INTEROCEPTION & MEANING MAKING: AN INTEROCEPTIVE FRAMEWORK IN MEMORY PROCESSING & TRAUMA RECOVERY
Tracy Jarvis, MSc, UKCP
This workshop examines how interoceptive inaccuracy disrupts emotional meaning-making, memory integration, and conscious experience following trauma. Drawing on emerging research in interoception, emotion, and consciousness, participants will learn how distorted internal signals shape traumatic memory processing. The presentation offers a clinically applicable interoceptive framework for restoring signal accuracy, supporting adaptive emotional integration, and promoting durable recovery from trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why register for this Summit?
Why Interoception?
Interoception is our path to connecting mind, body, and nervous system in a comprehensive approach to understanding the human experience. Interoception practices bridges the body’s signals and our internal experience with emotional awareness and regulation. Many common clinical presentations — anxiety, trauma expression, and autonomic nervous system dysregulation— stem from difficulty sensing or interpreting internal states. By helping clients notice and understand what their bodies are telling them, interoception based therapy strengthens emotional clarity, grounding, and resilience. Interoception brings the body back into the healing process, making it a cornerstone of effective, embodied therapeutic work.
