Listening to your body's signals
Interoception and how we can listen to internal signals from our body; how to help someone with mental health issues who might not want help; tuberculosis vaccine trial in Malawi.
Claudia is joined by Caroline Williams to learn about the cutting-edge science of interoception 鈥� that鈥檚 how the brain interprets signals that come from inside our body. We find out how honing this skill can sometimes be helpful and why at other times it can have a negative impact on us.
Tuberculosis remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide but in Malawi a stage 3 trial is under way to develop a new vaccine. Our reporter Carrim Mpaweni checks-in on the trial鈥檚 progress.
Also on the show, Claudia speaks to psychotherapist Sophie Scott about how to persuade a loved one to get professional help when they don't want to.
