Reconnecting with your body

Many people find that they feel different in their bodies after cancer - you might have lost trust in your body, or feel like your body has turned against you. In this podcast, Tatum talks to Claudia Knowles, a Research Assistant in the Heathcote Lab / working with Dr Lauren Heathcote looking at the mind-body connection in people who have had cancer. They talk about interoception - they way that we understand our internal bodily signals - and how bodily signals can affect emotions. Claudia talks about how to foster a more helpful mindset after a cancer diagnosis. The podcast ends with a short relaxation and breathwork session.  Claudia is currently carrying out some research on 'interoception'.
