Much of our day is spent processing our external world and ignoring the sometimes wild and sometimes subtle internal world. In this episode Dr. Diana Hill and Dr. Debbie Sorensen explore the concept of embodiment--awareness of your body from the inside. We will draw from  the lessons of Dr. Bo Forbes and Katy Bowman to explore how entering our bodies can support mental wellbeing and psychological flexibility.

Diana's academic and personal background in embodiment
How neuroscientists define embodiment (interception)
The difference between interception, proprioception, and vestibular sensation (using your feet!)
