On-Demand Course: The Links Between Interoception the Language of Emotion, and Human Connections
$79.00 USD
There is a lot of outdated or mis-information about the experience of emotions, emotion language, emotion regulation, emotion reciprocity and emotional empathy. This is especially true when it comes to understanding the diverse experience of emotions within people of a variety of neurotypes. This course will discuss some of the recent updates regarding our understanding of human emotions, supported by the latest science and reports of lived experience. Special attention will be on aspects of identifying how one feels, the use of interoception sensation and emotion words, emotional expression via the face and body, and on the shared experience of emotions between two people. Strategies will be shared for developing a shared language to support interoception expression and how to use this shared language to further the exploration and self-understanding of interoceptive experience and emotion.

Description
This on-demand course includes:

What you’ll learn:
- What current science and lived experience tells us about identifying interoception sensations and emotions. How do different thinkers come to understand how they uniquely feel?
- How interoceptive sensations provide the neurobiological foundation of emotion concepts and emotion language and how different interoceptive experiences may or may not impact this process
- The challenges of translating inner experiences into language. The way one experiences their interoception sensations and/or emotions differs greatly between people (it isn’t always emotion words).
- How variations in facial expression and the use of gestures might lead to misunderstandings and how a shared language might reduce these misunderstandings.
- The impact of emotion language on developing human connections. It might not be exactly what you think!
- How to provide a process for developing a shared language that enables a client and their therapist to discover and communicate interoceptive experiences in a way that can be mutually understood.
