Interoception means sensing internal signals from your body, like when you are hungry, when your heart is beating fast, or when you need the toilet. Sometimes, we may not notice these physical experiences and how they are connected to our emotions. Many children who have emotional and developmental challenges have a hard time being in charge of their emotions and their interoception skills are challenged because other signals get in the way. Therapy provided by therapists at Family First help children become stronger and more self-aware of their emotions and how it ties into their body signals. Family First Play Therapy can help build self-regulation skills. Call today for more information.
