Vancouver, Canada - July 2, 2019 /NewsNetwork/ —
Bowen College, a Bowen therapy based in Vancouver, announced a new report on the connection between interoception, emotion, pain and healing. Based on the latest research in neuroscience, biology and therapy, the report includes an overview of the process of interoception, its influence on the formation of emotions, and potential implications for pain control, relief and therapy.

Interoception is defined as the sense of the internal state of the body. This process, which can be both conscious and subconscious, is influenced by the vast network of nerves that runs throughout the human body and that communicate chemical, emotional and biological information between different areas.
According to the Bowen College report, the implications of interoception for practical therapeutic purposes are extremely important.
Lisa Feldman Barrett, author of “How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain,” suggests that, rather then being static constructs housed in specific parts of the brain, emotions are moment-by-moment processes that are heavily influenced by interoceptive processes and previous cognitive experiences.
This means that individuals have a much larger role to play in the process of creating and managing their emotions. Neurological associations resulting from past experience, patterns of nerve connections, and the perception of physiological state all combine to create specific emotions, even when the immediate causes are absent.
“Simply put, it means that pain doesn’t always correlate with an existing injury or ailment”, explains the report. “In fact, it can be triggered by other factors such as emotions or past trauma. Pain itself lingers in the body even though what caused it is long gone.”
Combined with the latest research on fascia and the transmission of emotional and biological information between the brain and various parts of the body, these new findings have important therapeuitc implications.
The report concludes: “Interoception is so fundamental to emotional awareness, social skills, decision making, problem solving and self-regulation that it might be the missing link in so many therapeutic interventions.”
