Approaching healing from both a psychological and body based approach can help people find connection to all parts of the self.

Interoceptive therapy is a form of therapeutic intervention that focuses on increasing one's awareness and understanding of internal bodily sensations. This approach is rooted in the idea that bodily sensations, such as heartbeat, breathing, and muscle tension, play a significant role in emotions and overall well-being. By paying attention to these sensations, individuals can develop a deeper connection with their bodies and gain insight into the ways their emotions and stress manifest physically.

Somatic psychotherapy is an approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the integration of the mind and body in the therapeutic process. The term "somatic" refers to the body, and this form of therapy recognizes the importance of the body in understanding and healing psychological issues. Somatic psychotherapy acknowledges the interconnectedness of physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, and behaviour.
