Tuning In: Building Interoception Together via Little Hiccups Charity

Did you know there’s a fancy word for noticing what’s going on inside our bodies? Interoception is our sense for knowing if we’re hot or cold, hungry or full, tired or energised and even how we’re feeling, like happy, excited, or frustrated. Tuning into our bodies isn’t always easy. And as you might imagine, if tuning in is tricky, then looking after ourselves can be tricky too.
