Interoception, self-regulation and emotional overwhelm

Interoception allows us to feel our internal organs and skin so we know when we are hungry, angry, tired, or need to go to the toilet. Differences in interoception mean that these signals are more difficult to intercept or are not recognised at all, leading to challenges in knowing how you feel, which can therefore affect self-regulation too.

This course helps you fully understand interoception and how it affects your emotions and self-regulation. The course recommends resources and suggests strategies which will help you recognise your emotions, maintain self-regulation and reduce feelings of emotional overwhelm. The course is aimed at both autistic individuals and professionals working with autistic individuals.

The cost of this course is £14.99. To find out details on how to pay please email Autismhub@disabilitypositive.org
