Interoception as clinical practice explores the science of interoceptive awareness: how we notice, interpret, and trust the signals our bodies send us. Discover how Dr. Mehling’s own experience with chronic back pain sparked the development of the MAIA Scale, a groundbreaking tool measuring body awareness across eight dimensions. Learn why emotional experience reveals what brain scans cannot, and how interoceptive skill develops incrementally, from ignoring the body entirely, to trusting its deepest intelligence.
