We’re excited to share this study for UK-based mental health professionals to take part in — as it aims to explore barriers to the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of Depersonalisation Derealisation Disorder (DDD). unrealcharity.com/qub-study

What drives #dissociation? In adults with #PTSD (some with #DID), extreme negative beliefs like “there’s something wrong with me as a person” were linked to dissociation. When these beliefs decreased during treatment, so did dissociation. Free article: tinyurl.com/5n7f4hke

Today is #DIDAwarenessDay. DID isn’t rare-& who bears the greatest burden of dissociative symptoms isn’t random. Our new paper finds higher provisional DID prevalence among marginalized racial groups and gender-diverse people. 50 free copies: tinyurl.com/3ve744x5

Are you a therapist who treats clients with dissociative disorders? See the attached recruitment ad for more details about a study on therapists’ experiences working with these clients around themes of death and dying!

Is the "Sense of Reality" in the physical world actually different from the "Sense of Presence" in VR? 🧠🥽 I’m thrilled to announce my first lead-author, theoretical paper is out now in Perspectives in Psychological Science! We argue: No. Presence IS Reality. A thread 🧵👇

📣📣New preprint! We show that hyper-reflexivity — an intensified self-focused attention — is strongly linked to depersonalisation & derealisation symptoms, more so than general rumination. Suggests a more specific cognitive mechanism for Depersonalisation-Derealisation Disorder
