The first trade book to explore interoception, the 'inner sense' governing our mental health, physical wellbeing and stress management

Interoception is one of our most important - and most mysterious - senses. It's how our bodies tell our brains what we're feeling - when we're hungry, when we're cold, how we're feeling in ourselves and how to respond to stress or panic. Little understood until now, unlocking its mechanics could transform mental health and wellbeing science. Caroline Williams is an expert in mind-body science. In Inner Sense, she uncovers a field that's poised to revolutionise health, and explores groundbreaking new techniques that can improve our mental and physical wellbeing. She meets brain scientists mapping the nervous system, neurodivergent researchers working to hone their interoception skills and health practitioners investigating how this inner sense can aid mindfulness, treat eating disorders and help find a sense of calm. Combining science, medicine, mindfulness and physical therapy, Inner Sense is the first book to bring this exciting new field of medicine to a general readership.
