Happy to see this baby in print! Shame can be a significant barrier to accessing mental health services; self-paced, self-compassionate letter writing can be a helpful way to target/reduce shame and self-criticism

There has been a lot of confusion across social media lately when it comes to OCD manifesting as “taboo” intrusive thoughts about children. This is the perfect time to educate others about “Real OCD” and the many forms this disorder can take. (1/6)

@RoselynPeters16 my motto to get rolling is "write without fear, edit without mercy" so let your first drafts be exactly that - imperfect starts :)

Hi, I’m just your friendly neighborhood psychologist continuing to ask why there isn’t a national licensure system, or at least better license mobility, for mental health professionals when the need for services is so high and access to care is so low?

Need a pap smear? Appt with your GYN.

Weird rash? Call your dermatologist.

Need that colonoscopy? Gastro here you come.

There are specialties in mental health, too. It's a major 🚩if your therapist sees every age and treats 78 things. Protect your mental health.

#SPSP2022 In collaboration with @TEDTalks "mystery experiment", @DunnHappyLab studied the effects of giving $10,000 to 200 people to spend however they wanted (plus 100 in no-$ control condition). Really striking findings!! 1/n

congrats to team @CheriLev for this trail-blazing study using longitudinal data to explore risk factors for body image dissatisfaction and symptoms of AN. Few datasets exist for testing #Eatingdisorder risk factors in early childhood.

My group is looking at publication trends in high impact psychiatry journals.

SPOILER ALERT...

#EatingDisorder research is the least commonly featured type of research across high impact psychiatry journals, but has the highest Altmetric and citation scores.

Are single item measures viable in psychological science? Here's a paper that discusses when they might fly. https://t.co/781K9RstGm

@EmilyTreichler Such cool work out today unpacking important components of wisdom (hint: one is compassion!) by UCSD folks https://t.co/EfewqiXeW9

I was giving a presentation when this father's words left me dumbstruck. I knew he was right. I had watched my daughter nearly die of #anorexia. I too knew what it was like to feel helpless in the face of a house on fire. To weaken the flame, we need better support for families.

For all my podcast lovers out there (or ppl who want to learn more about how to do self compassion IRL), I invite you to listen to Compassion Collective's latest ep on Apple or Spotify :)

New study by Jen Guy, @drbould @GlynLewis9. We find that stigmatizing views towards ppl with #eatingdisorders have improved from 1998 to 2008. However, EDs were still perceived as easier to recover from than depression and alcohol dependence in 2008 https://t.co/pNALkwceqN (1/2)
