Befriending bodily sensations: A practical introduction to interoceptive exposure in clinical practice w/ Clair Robbins, Ph.D.

Exposure therapy, including interoceptive exposure, can help patients manage strong emotions by confronting physical sensations linked to anxiety in a controlled setting. This practice reduces fear and avoidance of these sensations, improving emotional regulation and reducing fear of experiencing strong emotions. Despite its benefits, many providers feel unsure about implementing these procedures. This training aims to boost providers’ confidence in using interoceptive exposure practices. Participants will learn about the main theories of exposure, how to assess the suitability of interoceptive exposure, and how to develop and implement interoceptive exposure activities with clients. The training includes experiential learning activities for practical understanding and application.
