#EatingDisorderAwareness

Hi all, thanks to everyone who reposted. I am still seeking guest lecturers. Please reach out if you are willing or can recommend someone who would be a good fit. I appreciate your help!

In my course, we emphasize the dimensionality of mental health, consider the uses and problems associated with diagnosis, dismantle stereotypes, and consider the role of stigma and bias. I welcome both academic and lived experience expertise!

Hi all, it's that time of year again. I'm looking for guest lecturers for my undergrad Psych Disorders course in the spring. I'd especially love folks with expertise in bipolar disorders, borderline, substance use, ADHD/autism, and basically anything that is stigmatized or misunderstood.

Centering Impact and Equity in the Next 50 Years of Eating Disorder Research Over the past 50 years, there has been a significant increase in research on eating disorders, which is encouraging and necessary given the substantial mortality, morbidity, and personal and societal...

Proud of this commentary I wrote with Megan Mikhail where we argue the next 50 years of eating disorder research must center equity & impact to actually make meaningful progress towards reducing the prevalence & progression of eating disorders. Open access:

Hi folks-we’re building a digital intervention in lab and would love to hear what platforms other folks have used. Please reach out, I’d love to hear what you have you tried, what worked, what didn’t, etc. Thanks in advance!

Some good news - super excited that our commentary was just published in Eating Behaviors: "Disabilities and eating disorders: A theoretical model and call for research"

A study advert with a white background and plain black text stating: Participant Recruitment Advert. Exploring the effects of social media content on body and eating-related attitudes and behaviours. We are looking for participants to take part in an online survey (approx. 30 minutes) which will involve viewing social media content, followed by answering questions about how you currently think and feel toward your body and eating.

A lot of students in my undergrad psychological disorders course have an interest in emetophobia. Does anyone in my network have expertise in this and willingness to either speak to my class or share resources?

Endlessly proud of you

get students thinking dimensionally vs. categorically. I teach T/R at 10:20 ET in the spring and virtual lectures are welcome! If interested, please reply or DM me! Happy to trade a lecture on eating disorders.

Hi folks, I’m looking for guest lecturers for my undergrad intro to psychopathology course. I’m especially interested in experts in substance use, bipolar, borderline, autism/adhd, & dimensional approaches to diagnosis (like HiTOP). My goal is to de-stigmatize/demystify misunderstood disorders &…

🥳🥳🥳 incredible!! Congrats!!

Opinion | Enough To suggest we should yield even a little to Trump’s odious politics is unacceptable. Even if we did, it would never be enough.

Hi, I’d like to be included!

Yep! I just started them and I’m shocked by how much they sap me.

Hi folks-we’re so excited to host our first recruitment event for underrepresented potential students tomorrow, Wednesday, from 6-8 ET. Please register to join and share widely!

Although these aren't new ideas, we're excited to bring them to a wider audience who likely have less familiarity with eating disorders for the journal's special issue on EDs! Many thanks to my colleagues, Kelly Klump & Alexandra Burt!

Really thrilled to work with my new colleagues on this paper. In it, we argue that disadvantage has been largely ignored in research on eating disorder etiology & that this negligence has perpetuated & widened disparities. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Those who know me know that I'm a huge fan of intuitive eating - BUT, I'm also working to reconceptualize intuitive eating to acknowledge & integrate the ways it's inaccessible or unpractical for many. So, I'm thrilled I'll be presenting my proposed socioecological framework of IE at ICED 2024!

A massage therapist once told me that massaging me was like trying to massage concrete 🫠

This gave me quite the chuckle 😂
