✨Some affirmations for Bisexual+ Visibility Month. 💖💜💙 Bisexuality is having the potential to be physically, romantically, and/or sexually attracted to more than one gender identity, not necessarily at the same time/way/degree.
#BisexualVisibilityMonth #BiVisbilityMonth

ALT Bisexual flag background. Text reads: Bisexual Affirmations. I have the right to define my own identity and share it proudly. I am deserving of love and respect, regardless of who I am attracted to. My bisexuality is a journey of self-discovery and self-love. I am not alone. I embrace the fluidity of my attractions and allow myself to evolve.

For the first time, a randomized controlled trial has been published regarding gender affirming care.
The treatment group receiving care saw a 55% reduction in suicidality, compared to 5% of control.
I detail the results in my latest article.

I am very likely to admit a new clinical psych PhD student to start in Fall 2024. I am particularly interested in studying chronic moral injury, social cognitive assessment of character/virtue, and contemplative practices embedded in non-Buddhist tradition and community.

I've said it once, I've said it a million times: RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT for health (and mortality). Probably way more than we give them credit for!
Thanks to my brilliant colleague @CindyBVeldhuis for sharing.
Social isolation & loneliness are significantly associated with an increased risk of mortality
A meta-analysis of 90 prospective cohort studies (n = 2,205,199) finds a clear link between loneliness & mortality underscoring the importance of relationships nature.com/articles/s41562-0…
