17 Nov Ep. 5: Interoception – Getting to the Root of Behavior – Trauma Response? – Part 2

This episode is Part 2 of 2. In these 2 episodes we discuss how individuals developing body awareness through interoception may discover some trauma responses or adaptations that they have. These may be completely unconscious body responses that were created to protect themselves. We continue our trauma or “distress” discussion and talk about the importance of always “seeing” behavior as communication. We share stories of past clients so our listeners have an idea of how autistic individuals can develop trauma responses that look very much like “behaviors”.
