The impact of traumatic childhood experiences on interoception: disregarding one ’s own body

ConclusionResults suggest body dissociation, but not other interoceptive measures, as an important feature linking traumatic childhood experiences to current emotion dysregulation, an important transdiagnostic feature. As body dissociation refers to a habitual non-attendance or disregard of interoceptive signals, integrative therapeutic interventions could help affected individuals to overcome difficulties in emotion perception and regulation.Trial registrationThe general study design was preregistered; see the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS-ID: DRKS00015182). This study ’s analysis plan was not preregistered.
