Unlock the hidden sense of interoception—a revolutionary self-help paradigm for readers of The Body Keeps the Score and Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve

Discover how an invisible part of your nervous system shapes your mind, body, and emotional life—embodied exercises and neuroscience-backed tools to tune into your body’s signals, heal your nervous system, regulate your reactions, and transform your sense of self

Your inner sense—your interoceptive awareness—is the hidden eighth sense that sends messages between your brain, your body knowledge, and your environment. This powerful—but mostly unknown—superpower helps your nervous system interpret information, make sense of the world, and discern safety from “danger.”

When interoception is working well, it gives you crucial clarity, emotional wisdom, and gut-level insight into nearly every aspect of your life. But what happens when trauma, chronic stress, illness, and attachment wounds disrupt our nervous systems? How do we know if our wires are crossed? How do we heal?

Listening In is your guide to the interoceptive sensory system and its unseen but vital cues. Through clear and accessible explanations, relatable case studies, and evidence-based somatic practices, you’ll learn how to:

Understand what interoception is, how it works, and why it has the power to help us heal
See how early attachment wounds, chronic stress, trauma, and cognitive distortions interfere with how your mind makes sense of—or trusts—your body’s signals
Integrate the body into whole-person healing with practical exercises that build agency and self-awareness
Make sense of the common links among mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, chronic pain, C-/PTSD, eating disorders, and emotional dysregulation
Cultivate inner trust, clarity, and body-based wisdom after trauma, illness, or a life-altering rupture

This book is for you, whether you’re a therapist, trauma survivor, or self-help reader looking for new tools to heal and thrive. Research-backed practices—informed by somatics, neuroscience, trauma therapy, and a unique interoceptive body-signal framework—to help you strengthen emotional regulation, calm your nervous system, disentangle your mind-body wiring, and rebuild trust in your body.

“Listening In is an invitation to slow down and tune into the quiet language of the body. With insight and compassion, Carrie DeJong demonstrates how reconnecting with internal sensations can support healing, regulation, and self-trust. This is a thoughtful and accessible guide for anyone interested in embodied, trauma-informed approaches to well-being.”
—DR. ARIELLE SCHWARTZ, clinical psychologist, author of The Complex PTSD Workbook and The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook, and founder of the Center for Resilience Informed Therapy

“Listening In offers a timely and clinically grounded exploration of interoception as a foundational thread across trauma, mental health, and addiction. Carrie DeJong thoughtfully bridges neuroscience, somatic practice, and clinical insight in a way that is both accessible and practical for practitioners, while inviting general audiences to a clearer understanding of well-being, recovery, and the powerful connection between mind and body. This book makes an important contribution to how we understand regulation, recovery, and healing from the inside out.”
—DR. CARSON MCPHERSON, CEO of ROSC Solutions Group and adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University

“An excellent, deeply researched, and accessible book about a critically important aspect of being alive and human. This book will absolutely change my approach to my own life and work. I can imagine returning to these insights often—and sharing them with those I support in their healing journeys.”
—QUINCEY KIRSCHNER, executive director of Avalon Recovery Society, Vancouver, BC

“This book is not only for the curious psychotherapist. It provides a theoretical and scientific background for your work and very practical guidance for tackling clinical challenges. It introduces you to a perspective where psychological concepts are grounded in our felt senses, our actual lived experience, where mind and body are one. And if you are not a psychotherapist, you will learn about our felt senses and gain new insights.”
—WOLF E. MEHLING, MD, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Francisco
