Interoceptive dysfunction, or a lack of body/sensory awareness processing, is common among people with substance use disorders.
This webinar, Reducing Relapse Risk by Increasing Body Awareness Skills: Practical Tips and Research Findings in Substance Use Disorder Treatment, described the importance of body awareness/interoceptive skills, using Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), for promoting emotion regulation and reducing risk of relapse using a mindfulness approach.
