Understand Your Feelings by Mapping Bodily Sensations - with Dr Aleksandra Herman

Dr Aleksandra Herman, is a cognitive neuroscientist and Visiting Associate Professor at the University of South Australia (UniSA). Dr Herman's work focuses on the effects of bodily signals on our behaviour and decision-making. She also investigates what happens when body-brain communication malfunctions, such as in persistent pain conditions. During the interview, we cover her research using the emBODY tool which I found incredible enlightening. It really is a challenge sometime to explain to people what we are experiencing in our bodies in relation to external events and our emotions. We talked how research with the emBODY tool could enhance interpersonal relationships and empathy, and I learned about Dr. Herman's personal thoughts on the future of research in #interoception and body awareness.
