Bonus Interview With Dr. Wolf Mehling, M.D.

Thank you for registering for the Interoception & Trauma Summit. As a special thank you, we sat down with Dr. Wolf Mehling, physician, psychotherapist, and one of the originators of the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) scale, to explore a question at the heart of body-based healing: how do we actually measure body awareness, and why does that measurement matter for clinical outcomes?
 
In this exclusive interview, Dr. Mehling shares how his own experience of chronic pain and breathwork led him to develop the MAIA—a tool now used by researchers worldwide to assess not just whether clients notice body sensations, but whether they can regulate their attention, resist catastrophising, and develop trust in their body’s signals. For clients with trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, or depression, these dimensions of interoceptive awareness aren’t abstract concepts—they’re measurable capacities that predict how well body-based interventions will work. We hope this gives you valuable insights before the summit begins on February 27-28.

This kind of material deserves more than one viewinG

Dr. Mehling covers critical ground in this interview, and this is just one faculty member, one perspective on interoception and trauma. The summit itself features eight expert sessions over two days, each bringing their own research, frameworks, and clinical applications.

You’ll want to return to these insights again and again. The first time through, you get the big picture. The second time, you catch the specific language that helps you document your work. The third time, you’re working with a challenging case and a particular framework becomes exactly what you need.

But here’s the reality: you won’t be able to attend every session live. Even if you could, this isn’t content you absorb once and master. You’ll want to return to specific sessions when you’re stuck with a particular client presentation, or when you need research-backed language for treatment documentation, or when you’re teaching a colleague why interoption matters.
