Have you ever noticed your heart race before a big moment, or butterflies in your stomach when you’re anxious?

That’s interoception, your body’s hidden sense that helps you notice what’s happening on the inside. It’s how you know when you’re tired, hungry, calm, or unsettled, and it’s the foundation for understanding your emotions and needs.

This week, we’re exploring “What is Interoception?.”

Take a look and learn how your body speaks to you from within, and why listening to these signals matters for your mind and body health.

Last week, I talked about FIGHT, FLIGHT, FREEZE, and FAWN which are your body’s built-in protection patterns.

Today, I’ve taken it a little deeper.

In my latest blog, I explore:
🧡How each state shows up in everyday life;
🧡 Why these reactions make sense; and
🧡 How understanding them can change the way you respond to yourself.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation and thought, 'Why did I react like that?'

Maybe you
👉🏽 Snapped without meaning to;
👉🏽 Shut down and couldn’t speak; or
👉🏽 Said yes when everything in you wanted to say no.

You’re not too much, you’re not too emotional AND you’re definitely not broken.

You were having a nervous system response.
Your body was doing what it has always known to do ... protect you.

Here’s what that might look like 👇🏽

FIGHT : You feel yourself becoming angry, defensive, or needing control;
FLIGHT : You feel anxious, fidgety, or overwhelmed;
FREEZE : You go numb, shut down, or feel disconnected; and
FAWN : You people-please, over-apologise, or silence your needs.

These are survival states, not personality flaws.
Your body is wise. It learned these patterns to keep you safe.
When we understand what’s happening, we can respond with compassion instead of criticism.

At The HUB I create space for you to explore these responses with care, curiosity, and compassion, so you can begin to understand, regulate, and reconnect with yourself.
