Our students and faculty participated in @univofkentucky’s intramural kickball tourney. Our team name was “Stop the Stigma.” Though we were knocked out in the first round, stigma was definitely kicked.

[Clinic for Emotional Health @UnivofKY_CEH]

The CEH team took part in Frontrunners Lexington’s Pride 5k to raise funds to support k-12 students who identify as LGBTQ+. That’s our own @matt_southward_ on the podium!!

[Clinic for Emotional Health @UnivofKY_CEH]

Thrilled to be the site of the @BpdCompass RCT!

[BPD Compass @BpdCompass]

What is BPD Compass? Well, compass stands for cognitive-behavioral modules for personality symptoms. Our treatment has 3 modules that correspond to 3 common difficulties for people with BPD: strong emotions, difficulties in relationships, and impulsive actions.

[Clinic for Emotional Health @UnivofKY_CEH]

We take a full service approach to developing & testing treatments @UnivofKY_CEH ....

[Shannon Sauer-Zavala, PhD @SauerZavala]

One perk of having a home recording studio is being able to lay down some sick #mindfulness meditations for our new treatment manual. Thanks to @matt_southward_ for the vocal stylings and @JZavala3d for sound engineering.

Congrats to @UnivofKY_CEH doctoral student Jesse McCann on his expert virtual @ABCTNOW wardrobe choices....I mean...poster presentations #proud #abct2020

[Clinic for Emotional Health @UnivofKY_CEH]

@matt_southward_ is representing @UnivofKY_CEH at @ABCTNOW! We’re so impressed with how he conceptualizes engaging emotion reg capacity in treatment. Check out this 🔥symposium for a primer

[Matt Southward @matt_southward_]

Our pre-recorded @ABCTNOW symposium on Transdiagnostic Mechanisms of Emotion Dysregulation in Treatment is available NOW!
Come for @katieleedg's thoughtful discussion. Stay for talks by me (with @SauerZavala), @JeremyWEberle, & twitterless Kristen Howard & Iony Ezawa!

[Clinic for Emotional Health @UnivofKY_CEH]

It’s @ABCTNOW poster season! Check out Nicole Stumpp’s thoughtful analysis of how EMA participants think about their behavioral responses to emotions

[Matt Southward @matt_southward_]

Shoutouts to @UnivofKY_CEH & @SauerZavala grad student, Nicole Stumpp, for her @ABCTNOW poster on how well EMA researchers & participants agree on how to categorize their emotion regulation behaviors (tl;dr not well!). Fundamental work using a unique EMA design 📊

[Clinic for Emotional Health @UnivofKY_CEH]

@matt_southward_ is a postdoctoral fellow at @UnivofKY_CEH. We are very proud our colleague and friend - keep an eye on this rising ⭐️

[Shannon Sauer-Zavala, PhD @SauerZavala]

Next, it is my distinct pleasure to amplify this issue's membership spotlight: @matt_southward_

Dr. Southward is the future of translational emotion regulation research (& the social media coordinator for @SCPdiv12). Know about him!

[Clinic for Emotional Health @UnivofKY_CEH]

@UnivofKY_CEH Director of Research @tgroveradams was featured in @SCPdiv12’s Fall 2020 Issue 🤩

[Shannon Sauer-Zavala, PhD @SauerZavala]

Next, the lead article by @tgroveradams and colleagues describes what transcranial electric stimulation has to offer extinction learning!

Highlights include shockingly (see what I did there) beautiful picture of the brain!

[Clinic for Emotional Health @UnivofKY_CEH]

@matt_southward_ @lluaces Skeptical - rude!

[Clinic for Emotional Health @UnivofKY_CEH]

Some of the good work we’re doing here at CEH

[Shannon Sauer-Zavala, PhD @SauerZavala]

In conclusion, intensive (year-long) and multi-component treatments are wonderful and improve the lives of many with #BPD.

AND we need to know whether all skills in these tx packages carry their weight! And how to personalize care - not all pt's with BPD need long-term care

[Shannon Sauer-Zavala, PhD @SauerZavala]

How do we make psych. treatment more potent and efficient?

Ensure that each skill in the treatment package engages the mechanisms maintaining symptoms!

We isolate the effects of opposite action for #bpd using a cost-effective multiple baseline design: https://t.co/vqEJtVohm9
