Anyone looking for someone to join their #ABCT symposium? I'm looking at connectome-based predictive modeling and emotion regulation. Was also considering setting up a symp. on network approaches to ER if there is any interest. Happy to discuss further!

Excited to share that I'm now a NIDA T32 fellow in the Neuroimaging Sciences Training Program in Addiction at Yale School of Medicine! I'm working in Marc Potenza's lab, extending my research on emotion regulation, risky behaviors, and suicide to examine underlying neurobiology.

In case anyone was wondering, refreshing your email over and over at 4:15 AM won't make #MatchDay results come any faster. ⏳
Wishing good luck to my fellow psychology internship applicants! 🌠

Come check out cool emotion regulation research! Brad Brown is up w/ research on neg emotion differentiation. @matt_southward_ up next on Unified Protocol skill use. Then I present a new measure of ER self-efficacy, the Perceived Efficacy for Emotion Regulation scale #ABCT2021
Interested in new studies in emotion/emotion regulation science? @Taraspitzen's Innovations in Emotion Regulation Research: Examining Understudied Emotion Regulation-related Factors is LIVE Saturday at 3:15PM! Featuring @JenCheavens, @jrpeters, Bradley Brown & @matt_southward_
We have a new paper out on emotion regulation self-efficacy (ERSE) and SIBTs (NSSI, severity of suicide ideation, and suicide attempts)! I'm currently working on more ERSE-SITB research. Very interested in ERSE overall and especially in relation to risky behaviors.
New paper out led by grad student @TaraSpitzen! Emotion regulation self-efficacy (beliefs in one’s ability to regulate emotions) is associated with a range of SITBs -- suicide ideation, attempt, & NSSI -- both directly and through emotional avoidance. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Our paper on emotional consequences of NSSI predicting future NSSI is now in J of Affective Disorders! Post-NSSI self-conscious emotions (e.g., shame, guilt) uniquely predicted NSSI over next 12 months. BPD pathology related to later NSSI thru post-NSSI self-conscious emotions.
New paper led by @TaraSpitzen on the specific emotional consequences of NSSI is out in Journal of Affective Disorders!! Among young adults with repeated NSSI, self-conscious emotions predicted NSSI presence & frequency over the 12-month follow-up period. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
This is a fantastic resource. It's so cool to see people in academia and psychology working to help make our little world a more accessible and inclusive one. Thank you, @lushna_mehra, @chloe_bryen, @JaisalMerchant, Carolyn Marsh, and collaborators! – at Toledo, OH
#ClinicalPsychology twitter! Please see this resource I collaborated with @chloe_bryen, @JaisalMerchant, Carolyn Marsh, and others at @floridastate and @WUSTL to create to begin addressing systemic shortcomings and provide self-ed throughout our training. docs.google.com/document/d/1…

I am not going to make a corny joke about reading this wonderful paper as a rewarding activity that reflects my values. 😜
Way to go, Courtney! – at Toledo, OH

Our paper on the relation of NSSI to suicide attempts through emotion regulation self-efficacy is out! – at Toledo, OH
New paper out identifying an indirect association of NSSI frequency-SA through emotion regulation self‐efficacy but not suicide capability in 2 samples. Look for forthcoming research on this area, including a novel measure, from grad student @TaraSpitzen!

It was wonderful to see my old American University crew and meet some of the newer students. I hope Tony Ahrens and Dave Haaga make it next year... they were greatly missed! – at Toledo, OH
One of my favorite parts of #ABCT2019 was when all the current graduate students, alumni, and faculty of @AmericanU’s clinical @AU_Psych_Dept program gathered for our annual AU Eagle Pride Night. I’m so grateful to be a part of this supportive, impressive group!

Enjoyed catching up w friends & former colleagues & making new connections at #ABCT2019! Attended awesome presentations on suicide, emotion regulation, diversity, etc. Love being around all these brilliant minds and am excited for next year's conference in my hometown! – at Toledo, OH
Excited to present on the relation of emotion regulation self-efficacy (ERSE) to self-injury and suicidal thoughts and behaviors and the measures I am currently developing to assess ERSE. My labmate @MargaretMBaer will be discussing some very cool measures she is developing. – at Atlanta, GA
PERT lab graduate students @synesthetics and @MargaretMBaer will be participating in the research blitz, sharing new directions for their research this year! #ABCT2019 @ABCTNOW

Yes, end this! For my thesis defense, my mentor told me not to spend money, but I knew others expected food. I bought from a bakery that employed veterans, hoping for some good to come of it. But how much of this food (and money) ends up going to waste?

Presented my research on prolonged emotion duration in people w self-injury/suicide ideation. Thanks to @MargaretMBaer, Kati Lear, and Ana Rabasco and to our wonderful discussant, @sarahevictor. I am so lucky to have presented with such brilliant researchers! #AAS19 – at Denver, CO
Thanks to everyone who came to my speed data-ing talk at #NASSPD2019 on BPD and emotions (esp. guilt/shame) surrounding acts of NSSI! Next up, duration of negative emotional reactions in the daily lives of people w self-injurious thoughts and behaviors on 4/27 at #AAS2019!
Stop by the speed data-ing talks at 1:30PM today to see Tara Spitzen's presentation on the emotional context of NSSI, BPD, and future NSSI risk. Follow her on Twitter to see more of her self-injurious behavior research: @synesthetics #NASSPD2019
